HMK Plant Band in Ableton Live
HMK Plant Band in Ableton Live
25 October, 15:00
led by Remco Visker of Popschool Remco Visker
On 25 October, HMK organised Plant Band in Ableton Live, led by Remco Visker. Together with a group of enthusiastic teenagers, sensors on plant leaves were used to investigate how biological processes in plants, such as sap flows, can be translated into synthesiser sounds. These sounds were then brought together and supplemented with sounds from different (digital) instruments during an improv jam session. We were amazed by the organ(ic) sounds and enjoyed providing the chapel with thunderous sounds from Plant Band.
Plant Band in Ableton Live is a collaboration between HMK and Pop School Remco Visker, who developed and supervised the workshop. It came about as part of the project The Plantiarchy by Bernice Nauta and Gijsje Heemskerk, which was on view at HMK earlier this year.

Raffia Li, ‘Remixing time through bodily poetics’
During their residency at HMK, artist Raffia Li develops a collaborative performance which rearranges the relationship between body, time and accessibility. Remixing time through bodily poetics culminates from an on-going dialogue with invited guest artists, collaborators, organization and visitors about the systematic and political struggles around access making, but also the creativity and poetics that can derive from it.
‘Opening dialogue; another time, to begin again?’
