Listening Mutant 2020
Classical music and "Serious Games"
Interdisciplinary project & research (2021, Holland Festival)
Together with composer Micha Hamel I designed a radical listening-labyrinth for the concert hall; an environment full of challenging tasks, in which the audiences was challenged to sharpen their ears as "listening mutants" and experience music in a radically new way.
​
The audience listening behavior provided data for the researchers in the project.
Is there is a relationship between listening to classical music and listening to another person?
