Rewire x Korzo #23: Brìghde Chaimbeul + Farzané + Kara-Lis Coverdale

Maker Multiple artists
Duration 165 min

Rewire is one of the most adventurous music festivals, and Korzo happens to be one of the most adventurous stages in The Hague. So with Rewire X Korzo you can count on two autumn evenings that will take you to the exciting unknown. Musical acts that always unleash something in you that you didn't see coming. Electronic, analogue, digital, human, worldly, close, eclectic, bizarre, detailed. It is everything, so don't miss anything! 

Ambient music that carries an entire universe 

You can feel her music down to your very toes, invoking memories of nineteenth-century program music, spiritual jazz and New Age. Composer and musician Kara-Lis Coverdale fills the space with a whole universe: full of harmony and sensitivity. But although she takes you to different times and places, you are very much experiencing the here and now. That is impressive, because ambient music has a way to make you get lost in it. So come and listen to her nocturnal sound stories with us. 

Sensory Jewelry & the Otherness of AI 

What happens on a sonic level when two completely different forms of knowledge influence and challenge each other? Iranian sound artist Farzaneh Nouri shows us and lets us hear it. On one side of the spectrum we have the human experiences, the ones in the body that are different in every culture. On the other side  the calculations are done by machines. 

In this live research performance Farzané works with two improvising AI systems. She controls these systems with movements, via specially developed jewelry with sensors inserted. Instead of streamlining or optimizing everything, she looks at where it reinforces each other, where it clashes and where it complements each other. Less mono, more stereo! 

These bagpipes will gently blow you away 

After Rewire 2024 everyone was talking about: “That woman with the bagpipes”. That’s Brìghde. She plays her own compositions on the traditional Scottish bagpipes (Great Highland bagpipes) and the rediscovered small bagpipes (Scottish smallpipes). We are now reacquainted with this fascinating instrument and with her latest album Sunwise and we are carried away by repetitive penetrating sounds that dance together in a lively fashion.
