Thumping sound systems and dancing bodies in the endless North African desert: composer Kangding Ray’s soundtrack forms the beating heart of director Oliver Laxe’s hallucinatory road movie Sirāt. In this concert, the Berlin-based producer brings the world of Sirāt to the Muziekgebouw, while Laxe projects live footage from the film alongside hitherto unreleased material.
Kangding Ray’s music spans a wide sonic spectrum: from exhilarating techno to ethereal ambient. As a DJ/producer, he blends an experimental drive with club music. This soundtrack, praised by The New Yorker as ‘magnificently transporting’, earned him the Cannes Soundtrack Award. With releases on influential labels like Raster-Noton and Invada, Kangding Ray has established himself as one of the leading names in contemporary electronic music.
Jo Johnson
British artist Jo Johnson opens the evening with her intoxicating blend of ambient and electronic minimalism. Once a guitarist in the radical punk band Huggy Bear, she later immersed herself in London's techno scene. With her acclaimed debut album Weaving, she embarked on a third musical chapter, exploring transcendence through layered synthesizer sounds. Live, she blurs the boundaries between improvisation and electronic composition.
