The legendary work of Louis Andriessen

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.
