newpolyphonies rewired, Myriam Van Imschoot

Twenty moving speakers make the space move like a swarm. You step into a field of sounds that breathe, buzz, shift and scrape. In Newpolyphonies Rewired, Myriam Van Imschoot transforms everyday gestures of listening and performing into a sensory experience on a large scale. In partnership with HYOID vocal ensemble and the Rif collective, an installation/concert emerges that is both intimate and overwhelming. What comes out of the speakers seems familiar — the roar of aeroplanes, the buzz of insects, electronic glissandi — but all of it is produced by the voice. Fragments cling to each other, fall apart and form new constellations. From small and elusive beginnings, it grows into a dense, vibrating polyphony.
