ADE picks
EINDER by Boris Acket
EINDER by Boris Acket is a slowly shifting audiovisual environment of spatial sound, moving fabric, motors and light. Walk, sit or stand inside it as acoustic orchestra, electronic elements and changing motion pull the piece through day and night.
Premiere: Two Seas and Vinorun
EarthSonic's premiere at Nxt Museum: Paul Hartnoll with Natural Symphony's installation, Paranoid London's raw acid house live, and Coldcut's Matt Black in conversation. Art first, then the 303s.
Dome Concerts presents: CATCHING FLIES - visuals Julius Horsthuis
Catching Flies and Julius Horsthuis bring soulful melodies, deep basslines and fractal dome visuals together in ARTIS Planetarium. Expect live-instrument feel, detailed rhythms and immersive animation that syncs electronic music with a planetarium setting.
Foam x Echobox present: The Sounds of In Here Own Way
Foam and Echobox frame Yomna El Beyaly’s In Her Own Way / شوية وراجعة through music and storytelling, with Karmel, Noise Diva and ZINEB in the room. Expect ambient stretches, sharp edits, vocal refs, North African rhythms and amapiano swing around the exhibition’s themes.
Motie - Thursday (Opening Night)
Motie turns the Stopera, city hall and opera house on the Amstel, into a home for the city's night culture for three days. The opening has Young Marco's psychedelic, left-turn sets, Jonny Nash's slow-blooming guitar ambient and Oceanic's live minimal techno.
THE FUTURE IS SOUND at ADE
Ruthlss and Portrait XO move between piano-led electronic writing, processed voice, data sonification and audiovisual performance at The Stargate. The night sits between composed passages, club percussion and synthetic textures, with sound and image both doing the work.

Thomas Azier plays new work morphing music and visuals
Beyond The Dance Floor: Edition
