Van Binsbergen has been working alongside writers and poets since 2003. Literature and poetry are two major sources of inspiration for her.

Een Huid van Klank [A Skin of Sound] is an evening-long project that investigates the significance of music in relation to language. A hybrid ensemble including musicians from Asko|Schönberg, an improvising pop singer and a South African jazz trio explore every nook and cranny of language and sound, manifested in spoken word, songs and arias; a colourful project displaying a cross-fertilisation of the riches of different worlds.

‘When the meaning of a word yields, slips

and then surrenders into tone – from then on

the blood yearns for that infinite pitch of a word

because: the only truth stands skinned in sound.’
