Akim and Marlies build bridges. Marlies and her oboe surrender to the guitar pedals and movement sensors of Akim Moiseenkov, Akim is creating space for the oboe in contemporary electronic music. While he’s juggling with little black dots, fermata, and alt keys, Marlies is exploring tapedelays, General MIDI and signal-to-noise ratio.
The cellar under the bridge of De Ruijterkade is an exceptional place and an unusual concert hall to boot, situated right under a tramway track and a busy road. Performing here takes guts, and Perforator offers their daring audience to experience a concert on this venue, where the roaring surroundings will be integrated in the music.
Leave your routine behind, step out of the comfortzone and keep an open mind to enjoy the versatile duo of Perforator. Pop structures, lamentos, counterpoint (by joystick), home made twentyeurosynth versus ‘don’t leave this on the train’ oboe. From their musical islands, both Akim and Marlies are building bridges to reach out to each other.
