The Void Pointers Play the Flutes (part 2) -
Uploaded on Jun 19, 2011 to YouTube.
Description: comprovisational live electronics
Echokamer is a series of events during which composers, musicians and other sound-makers experiment with sound at, and with the sound of, Mediamatic Fabriek. The giant industrial hall reverberates and erodes, and produces quite a bit of sound all by itself. The perfect place for noisy experiments. Address: VOC-kade 10, Oostenburg Amsterdam.
Opening party at the Tostifabriek
Celebrate life on the quay!
Thanks to patrons, farmers, neighbors and volunteers, the Tostifabriek is running at full speed. The first tosti's will be harvested in September. Until that time we'll be taking care of the animals, showing people around, and making cheese. For now, it's time to celebrate. Join us for the official opening at 15:30, followed by a tour and a barbecue. Favelous will serve pizza from a wood-fired oven, and Roest is also throwing a little party. Please RSVP to let us know you're coming.
More information
The Tostifabriek is part of Freezing Favela, a temporary city in and around Mediamatic Fabriek, VOC-kade 10, Oostenburg Amsterdam.
Mediamatic Fabriek is big, unheated, and the roof leaks. Designers, cooks, and other makers have claimed part of this space as their own. In the Favela you can make tosti's from scratch, paper from cow dung, furniture from cardboard, and cook with ingredients from the aquaponics farm. Favela-citizens give workshops and organize events and meals. We're open every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday from 1pm to 6pm at the very least. Do y...
Pretty Nice Party
Paint an enormous T-shirt
There are parties, and there are parties. We're throwing a party that blends both of these categories. Food, drinks, music, lights, good people, and laughter are generally good party ingredients. We are taking those ingredients and adding: an abandoned factory, a 30ft. t-shirt, paint, brushes, felt tip pens, and your tipsy creativity (creatipsity). So join us after your dreary job, have some snacks, do a dance, drink a drink, paint a 30ft. shirt! We hope to see you there. Music by DJ's BAM BOE (Sova, Freddy & Dubbs).
More information
Time: 8pm till 1am. Location: Mediamatic Fabriek, VOC-kade 10, Oostenburg Amsterdam. The party costs € 7.50, which includes a valid Club Mediamatic membership (€5,- for 4 weeks). The first drink is on us. To buy your ticket scroll above and click the pink button 'Koop een kaartje' (above date and time).

Echokamer #4: Arab beats & two Dutch choirs
Rough Americana, Boeuf Majeur, The Average Voices
Echokamer #4 sees a mix of musical styles. Mutamassik and Morgan Craft a.k.a. Rough Americana will contribute low-slung bits and beats with experimental guitar, and The Average Voices and Boeuf Majeur, Amsterdam choirs under the direction of Tristan Knelange, will perform two important European works from the 1920s. Free for members. Dinner at 19:00, music at 20:30.
After returning from the trenches of WWI, Ernst Toch settled in Weimar to create a number of stunningly modernist works, among which the world's first spoken chorus piece, Geographical Fugue. The Average Voices choir will perform what has affectionately been called 'Weimar Rap', translated into English under the watchful eyes of John Cage and Henry Cowell.
Boeuf Majeur, a young choir from Amsterdam, will perform Frank Martin's Mass for Double Choir, the only unaccompanied choral work by the Swiss composer. Written in the 1920s, it wasn't until 1963 and after heavy persuasion that Martin released the piece, which ...
