wonderwerp
Wonderwerp series at Studio LOOS has been an important platform for promoting independent, avant-garde and experimental music in the Hague in the period 2009 - 2016.
Yolanda Uriz Elizalde (ES) founded the series in 2009 and was curator from the 14th of April 2009.05.14 - edition #1 at Studio LOOS - until the 26th of June 2014 - edition #53.
Editions #54 (September 24, 2014) until #63 (June 26, 2015) were curated by curators/producers Matteo Marangoni (IT), Anne Wellmer (DE) and Ingrid Lee (US).
Editions #64 (September 24, 2015) until the last edition #73 (June 23rd, 2016) were curated by Kacper Ziemianin (POL) and Marcello Ghilardi(IT).
Wonderwerp is not dedicated to any particular style or genre of music and tries to present a wide selection of performers at each concert. Music that can be heard here includes, but is not limited to: live electronics, drone, free improv, noise, sound art, electro-acoustic, etc. To keep it fresh and interesting, at each edition we aim to present international artists as well as local ones. We stay in close contact with the Royal Conservatory of Music in the Hague and the Royal School of Art. Students and graduates from these institutions get opportunity to present their works here.
Starting from September 2015, we also worked in close cooperation with the educational activities of the Studio LOOS and each month one of the performers at the Wonderwerp series also delivered a workshop on a selected topic.
Wonderwerp took place at Studio LOOS every 4th Thursday of the month.
Sound engineer of Wonderwerp is Joel Thurman.
