Specially for Into The Great Wide Open, composer Wouter Snoei has composed a new work for Kinetic Sounds; a so-called generative composition, meaning not a fixed piece of music being played back, but a living sound piece that slowly evolves over the course of two days and is never the same. The work is three-dimensional; the listener hears a different perspective from every spot in the room, some sounds can only be heard when standing very close to the speakers, and others resonate throughout the entire space. In the church of Vlieland, this produces truly unique soundscapes.

Please note: this work can be found in the Nicolaaskerk on the Dorpsplein, and can only be seen on Thursday, August 29, 15:00 - 23:00 and Friday, August 30, 11:00 – 23:00.

On those days, three live performances will also take place; a duet between the installation and a musician, in which unexpected impulses are introduced by the live musicians playing along with the work of Wouter Snoei.

• Lucija Gregov (cello): Thursday, August 29 at 20:30 and Friday, August 30 at 16:15.
• Lise Morrison (church organ): Friday, August 30 at 11:00

During these concerts, capacity is limited and the doors will close. So be on time!
