Subbacultcha | Cement #5 | Adriaan de Roover & Karmen Ponikvar
End your summer with a social meditation consisting of Adriaan de Roover’s live A/V presentation of Other Rooms and Karmen Ponikvar’s live iteration of fragmented and hyperrealistic sounds. The evening will be held in what was originally Amsterdam’s oldest cinema, the Roode Bioscoop, turned socialist anarchist theatre, turned experimental venue for music, poetry and plays.

Iteration of fragmented and hyperrealistic sounds
Brussels-based musician Adriaan de Roover has been forging a singular path in electronic music. De Roover’s works integrate acoustic and electronic sources into amorphous, indefinably textured shapes, creating microscopic landscapes that at times resemble alien transmissions and often bloom into harmonic panoramas at a moment’s notice.
Other Rooms is Adriaan’s second solo album, released through the Dauw imprint, which also houses Midori Hirano, Dylan Henner, H. Takahashi, Lieven Martens, and Taylor Deupree.
Stepping back from rhythm-oriented motifs, this latest work is a concise but varied collection of weightless melodies and expertly sculpted, computerized soundscapes.
Karmen Ponikvar is a Slovenian sound artist, performer, and researcher in the field of electronic and electroacoustic music. Inspired by the gift of hearing and the practice of listening, she approaches sound with searching and curious ears.
Her sonic terrain, portraying the transmutation of one material into another, blends molten fragments of synthesized electronic sounds and modulated field recordings to create hyperrealistic sonic worlds.
She studies sound at the Institute of Sonology in The Hague, focusing her research on microtonal sonic structures and the relationships between sound, space, and place.
