Frederik De Wilde, Electric Courtship Songs
On Event#06 presents Frederik De Wilde’s project EOD02. In this project he is developing an installation that connect bio-electric fish with audiovisual media. A computer will translate their electric signals to sound and light impulses.

9 pm | concert
Rafael Toral ft. Sei Miguel Quartet
Rafael Toral (Staubgold), the Portuguese who used to be a craze as experimental guitarist (and who in the mean time has transformed himself to composer, electronic engineer and instrument maker), presents his new project Space Program.
In Netwerk he’ll play with the Sei Miguel Quartet. Sei Miguel, like Toral from Portuguese descent, has been working for more than 20 years in relative seclusion on his indiosyncratic trumpet sound. His reserved tones are discrete but compelling, and originate from re-interpretations of traditional jazz phrases following the principles of John Cage.

10.15 pm | concert
Per Henrik Svalastog
The Norwegian musician Per Henrik Svalastog (Rune gramophone) reconciles digital sounds with local archaic instruments as the langeleik or zither (Norwegian sitar) or the ram horn. With catching pleasure he switches between sophisticated media and ancient instruments, between electronics and folk music.
