reviews

Philemon Mukarno is one of the most original Dutch composers of the young generation. His work is utterly uncompromising and characterized by a very strong sense of esthetics and individual style. His music is immediately recognizable, and no matter if he writes for traditional instruments or highly unusual setups, acoustic or electronic, and no matter if the composition is highly complex and virtuosic or carried by great simplicity, Philemon manages to convey a high level of excitement and a monolithic aura at all times. I have worked with Philemon and have heard a great many of his works in concert, and I have never been disappointed.

‘very strong sense of esthetics and individual style’

Philemon is a composer of contemporary music. As someone who was born in Indonesia and studied western music and has a music career in the west, made Philemon as a unique composer in contemporary music. He has found his own musical language, Meaning and Form are to be the primary basis in its composition. Philemon’s works include a variety of media: electronic music, electro-acoustic music, gamelan music, ensemble, symphony, multimedia, music for dance, film and theater. It was an incredible composer!

Ongoing projects

Voice-skin

A sound experience for voice and (electro) acoustics A production for voice and electroacoustics performed by vocalist Janneke van der Putten(NL) with compositions by Werner Durand(DE), Chrs Galarreta (PE) and Philemon Mukarno(NL/ID). Interface-dress designed by Jesse Howard (US) & Arden Rzewnicki (US)

A sound experience for voice and (electro)acoustics’ presents a performance around the boundaries and possibilities of the human voice in interaction with the Voice-Skin, a wearable acoustic interface. Unconventional vocal techniques and spatial resonances are mixed with (electro-)acoustic sounds that are transmitted through the material surfaces and electronic components of the Voice-Skin. The movements of the vocalist will generate a spatial sound experience in which the listeners will immerse themselves.

Performances will take place between November 2020 and December 2021.
