INCIDENTAL is een geluidsperformance die controle, verstoring en transformatie verkent door middel van stemmen, traditionele Latijns-Amerikaanse klanken en dynamische elektronische texturen. Door gebruik te maken van de unieke akoestiek van de ruimte, brengen we toevallige geluiden—de subtiele, vaak onopgemerkte elementen—naar de voorgrond, samen met veldopnamen, het resonante kerkorgel, analoge instrumenten en computergestuurde tonen. Terwijl het publiek vrij door de kerk beweegt, komen vertrouwde melodieën en experimentele klanklandschappen samen en ontstaat een steeds veranderende omgeving die uitnodigt tot actief luisteren, waarbij onverwachte geluiden opduiken en vervagen in de architectuur.

INCIDENTAL is a sound performance exploring control, disruption, and transformation through voices, traditional Latin American sounds, and dynamic electronic textures. Utilizing the unique acoustics of the space, we bring incidental sounds—those subtle, often unnoticed elements—into focus alongside field recordings, the resonant pipe organ, analog instruments, and computer-generated tones. As the audience moves freely within the church, familiar melodies and experimental soundscapes merge, creating an ever-shifting environment that invites active listening as unexpected sounds surface and fade within the architecture.

Constanza Castagnet is an Argentine artist and composer living in Amsterdam whose work spans voice, sound, performance, and installation. She explores the voice’s materiality, using techniques like sampling, pitch-shifting, and layering to create non-verbal expressions that challenge conventional communication. She also founded AUX), an Amsterdam-based program fostering sound research and collaboration with the Sandberg Institute and Rietveld Academy. Constanza’s work has been showcased at Het Hem, Tempel (Amsterdam), PROA21, CCK, CNB (Buenos Aires), Les Instants Chavirés (Paris), and QO-2 (Brussels).

Concepción Huerta is a multidisciplinary artist focused on sound and audiovisual media, creating spatialized concerts, speculative narratives, and immersive experiences. Her sound work explores silence, noise, and acoustic space through recordings of everyday objects and synthesizers, often manipulated with tape recorders to craft ambient, noise-based atmospheres. She is a member of the experimental ensemble Amor Muere and collaborates frequently with artists across genres. Huerta’s work has been presented at MUTEK (Mexico), Rewire (Netherlands), and the Center for New Music (USA), with releases on labels like Static Discos and UMOR REX.
