Becoming Invisible (2017)
Art Night
London, 1 July 2017
Site-specific adaptation of an ongoing project
Immersive light and sound installation
Entrance at the signposted meeting point on the south-east side
Tower Bridge Road, London SE1 2UP
6pm–2am, every 40 minutes
Duration: 35 Minutes
Language: English
Ian Whittlesea invites the audience to take part in an illuminated
meditation in the Bascule Chamber, located inside Tower Bridge. His
ongoing work Becoming Invisible is adapted to the rarely accessed
cavernous space. This experiential and performative audio installation
is accompanied by a light show ranging from total darkness to the most intense light imaginable. The audience, in groups of 50, is guided down
into the chamber by the voice of hypnotherapist Ruth Sabrosa, alongside
the sound of rhythmic breathing and visualisation cues. Once in the
Chamber the participants are asked to reflect on the colour spectrum and finally to step into a white cloud, perhaps allowing them to become permanently invisible.
A project supported by Art Night’s Patron Circle 2017, kindly hosted by Tower Bridge.

Piiptsjilling – Fiif
‘Fiif’ the new and fifth album by Piiptsjilling is released on June 23rd by Peter Foolen Editions.
Piiptsjilling
consists of Jan and Romke Kleefstra (Alvaret Ensemble,
Kleefstra|Bakker|Kleefstra, etc.), Mariska Baars (soccer Commitee) and
Rutger Zuydervelt (Machinefabriek). They combine poetry with vocals,
guitars and electronics. Whether in the studio or live, they always
improvise. Without much discussion, they just start, and the music
magically pours out, sometimes ethereally beautiful and at other times
abstract and noisy.
Jan Kleefstra’s poems are in Frisian, a language
most listeners won’t literally understand, but can just as well be
experienced on a musical level, adding a sense of mysterious melancholy to the music.
Jan and Romke Kleefstra are also members of Kleefstra | Bakker| Kleefstra (with Anne Chris Bakker) and The Alvaret Ensemble (with Greg Haines and Sytze Pruiksma). Kleefstra | Bakker | Kleefstra released their 8th album ‘Dize’ (Midira Records) in February this year. The Alvaret Ensemble released their acclaimed self-titled debut album in 2012, with guests Peter Broderick and Martyn Heyne and recorded by Nils Frahm in the Grunewaldkirche in Berlin (Denovali Records).
Jan and Romke Kleefstra made with Celer and Rutger Zuydervelt the album GAU (MonotypeRec, 2012).
Mariska Baars makes music under the moniker ‘soccer Committee’, her first album ‘sC’ was released in 2007 (Morc Records). She collaborated with Rutger Zuydervelt on the albums ‘Gris Gris’ (Low Point, 2008), ‘Drawn’ (Digitalis & Morc Records 2008) and ‘Redrawn’ (self-released, 2012) with tracks of ‘Drawn’ covered and remixed by Peter Broderick, Taylor Dupree, Nate Wooley, Lawrence English, Mark Templeton and others.
Rutger Zuydervelt, often working under his alias Machinefabriek, released many solo recordings and collaborations. Machinefabriek’s music and soundscapes combines elements of ambient, modern classical music, minimalism, drone and field recordings. Rutger collaborated with many artists such as Michel Banabila, Nils Frahm, Richard Skelton, Dead Neanderthals, Peter Broderick, Wouter van Veldhoven, Gareth Davis and Tim Catlin. He composed music for dance and ballet and soundtracks for films. In 2011 he released his album ‘Sol Sketches’, the music for the film ‘Sol LeWitt’ by Chris Teerink. In 2016 he composed the soundtrack for the computer game ‘Astroneer’ (System Era, 2016).
The first album 'Piiptsjilling' was released in 2008 by Onomatopee (http://www.machinefabriek.nu/releases_-_collaborations/piiptsjilling).
‘Fiif’
doesn’t so much mark a new chapter for the band, but rather an organic
progression of their sound. There’s a rougher edge to it then on
previous albums like Wurdskrieme (Experimedia, 2010) or Moarntiids (Midira, 2014), and Mariska’s vocals have gained an even more important role.
The
album was recorded at Studio Landscape in Gau and mastered by Lawrence
English at 158, Brisbane, Australia, and is released on cd and as
download.
The CD is released in an edition of 300 copies and comes in
a vinyl transparent sleeve containing a folded poster with an image of a
painting by Mariska Baars and the lyrics in Frisian and English.
Fiif is available for 10 euro at
