Uncompromising. Energetic. Unlike anything else. Louis Andriessen’s Hoketus is the big bang of Dutch electronic and minimal music avant la lettre. Released by Andriessen fifty years ago, this legendary work hit the world like a bomb. No sweet melodies here – just rock-hard rhythms, raw sounds, and a hypnotic drive. Hoketus inspired artists worldwide. From minimal to techno, from ensemble to club: Andriessen’s influence can still be heard today.
For this anniversary celebration, Michael Gordon, co-founder of the legendary Bang on a Can collective, is writing a mirror composition: a work that confronts Hoketus. Not an homage, but a new step in the direction Andriessen set out. Music that does not bend, but collides, moves and breaks.
18.30 - 23.00 / Entrance Hall / Context Program Hoketus
Before and after the concert, there will be several interactive activities centered around the musical technique that lies at the heart of Hoketus. Before the concert, you can watch the latest Stairway to Music, in which the piece is performed in a surprising setting. Afterward, you can get involved yourself: during a game of table tennis, discover what it is like for the musicians to play the work, or create a Hoketus version of a children’s song together with others. The DJ set after the concert will be performed by Spiritual Embassy (Temo Gonzalez and Tibor Pasman).
