w/ MONOMONO

During the months of July and August, venue Het Bos hosted musical residencies in their great concert room. Every week a new promising talent, every week another exciting outcome. WAV invited the residents at the radio studio to talk about their upcoming residency or, when after the residency, to talk about the experience and listen to the outcome. When the second Covid-19 wave hit Antwerp in August, we had to stop these live radio shows. But we promised to give the artists the attention they deserve later. So here we are, with a look back to that great weird summer of 2020 and its summer residencies at Het Bos!

Tonight we’ll have a talk with Monomono and listen to what they cooked up during his Summer week at Het Bos.

MONOMONO

MONOMONO is het muzikale project van violiste en sounddesigner Hester Bolle en geluidsartiest Anne van de Star.

Samen verstrengelen ze elektronische sounds, akoestische instrumenten in techno beats wat resulteert in eigenzinnige electro-akoestische soundscapes. Ze zijn massa’s materiaal aan het producen waarvoor ze onder andere op zoek gaan naar de stem van vrouwen doorheen de geschiedenis en in de mythologie. Hun perspectief zullen ze tijdens hun residentie in een hedendaagse context plaatsen.
