from the Ambient Underground

The collective that unites artists from The Hague’s underground experimental scene [[[[ for more info & ticket links go to the official event page ]]]] from the Ambient Underground Each performance is curated by guitarist, composer, electronic musician - and member of Flowers/Ghosts&Echoes - James A. McEwan, who assembles a one-of-a-kind ensemble of artists, each with their own voice and improvisational style. At the heart of every performance lie slow-evolving audio-visual textures: immersive and meditative soundscapes and visual landscapes, which together open a world that is at once calming, but also at times intense, yet mysterious. These performances also function around a core of musical drones: long sustained sounds that invite the audience to sink into; a sonic environment that all performers contribute to, explore, develop, and move around. These works create meditations amidst the urban and digital industrial tension, offering a reflective space to navigate and self explore, a moment to pause, listen, and reconnect amid the constant hum of contemporary life.
