Collaboratory Ciné-Concert IRCAM

Composer Martin Matalon, Eric Sleichim and BL!NDMAN [drums] are offering six young composers a cinema-concert workshop, in which they will create original scores for the silent comedy film The Cook from Buster Keaton and three animation films from the series Out of the inkwell from Dave and Max Fleisher.

Parliament of Angels, is the brand new initiative of BL!NDMAN that enters into a five-year trajectory with national and international partners, unites artists and students from the Canterbury Christ Church University, IRCAM & Lobster Films, Koninklijk Conservatorium The Hague, Beeldende Kunstacademie The Hague, Art of Sound The Hague & Art and Sience The Hague, MATA Festival NY and the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp. During residencies and workshops, students, artists, composers, musicians and curators will delve into predetermined themes and techniques. This will yield numerous new compositions over a period of five years and will provide the breeding ground for at least five productions. Each year, one partnership is central and this is represented by a curator who acts as a bridge figure between BL!NDMAN and its own institution. As a result of the annual lab project Parliament of Angels, the performances Corporate Action of 4 by BL!NDMAN [drums], A-CADEMIC by BL!NDMAN [sax], ELECTRIC WIRE by BL!NDMAN [strings] and LABYRINT by BL!NDMAN [hybrid] are planned.
