Drawing on recordings made inside a historic water tower in Radio Kootwijk and a feed silo in Friesland, this new spatial sound composition explores ‘vertical acoustics’ – how sound ascends, echoes, and reshapes within towering spaces. Immersive, physical, and meticulously detailed, it marks a major moment in Nilsen’s ongoing explorations of sound in space.
Earlier this year, the work premiered at Paradiso Amsterdam as part of the ‘Spatial Sound Concerts’ programme of Sonic Acts Biennial 2026.
If you are in Paris this Friday, 12 June, at 20:00, the piece will be performed on INA GRM Acousmonium as part of the FOCUS concert series at the Cent Quatre.

For over 35 years, ArtScience has enabled students to work in the field of sound, visual art, performance, science and technology, shaping generations of interdisciplinary artists. Its closure also marks the end of an important chapter in Sonic Acts’ history. Founded in 1994 in collaboration with ArtScience and Paradiso Amsterdam, Sonic Acts emerged from the same commitment to experimentation across art, sound and technology.
On Wednesday at 17:00 in the Gipsenzaal at KABK, Sonic Acts director Lucas van der Velden will join a panel discussion with Ezequiel Menalled, director of, exploring the role and relevance of ArtScience within the professional arts field in the Netherlands and beyond.

Philosophies of Displacement delved into rootlessness as a condition of our time, exploring feelings of disconnection, drift, and modes of confronting capitalism and its technological infrastructures. Throughout the symposium, philosopher Yuk Hui, known for his influential concept of ‘cosmotechnics’ – which rethinks technology through non-Western philosophical frameworks – reflects on 'becoming-homeless' as a condition endemic to our age, in which global capitalism and environmental crisis erode our sense of belonging. His talk imagined home differently: across multiple worlds and ways of being.
Writer and theorist Flavia Dzodan followed the talk with Affective Logistics, examining how digital infrastructures capture and direct emotion as if it were cargo. Tracing the histories of command systems and domestic optimisation, she listens for the noise that slips through – the emotions that cannot be measured or contained.
Yuk Hui’s lecture is realised as part of New Perspectives for Action, a project by Re-Imagine Europe, co-funded by the European Union. Flavia Dzodan’s lecture is realised by Paradiso and Sonic Acts as part of the same funding scheme.

Originally published in the 7th issue of Sonic Acts' 'Ecoes' magazine, the conversation moves through radio as a site of resistance, the politics of collective listening, and the porous boundaries between DJing and sound art.
Swirling with textures, Loma Doom’s DJ sets unfold through sedimentary layers of sound. Frequently playing across four or more turntables, her fingers gliding over vinyl and jog wheels, she weaves together field recordings, solo vocal arrangements, archival snippets, and avant-garde instrumentals. From excavating the archive of de Appel Arts Centre to the project 'RE:ACTIVATE' with recordings from Amsterdam’s squat radio station Radio de Vrije Keyser, Dekker explores how listening can function as both practice and call to action – connecting past and present forms of resistance.

📍Amsterdam | 🗓️ 5 February to 29 March 2026
The Biennial spans more than 80 events and 15 venues, bringing together over 200 artists for a large-scale exhibition, listening sessions, spatial sound concerts and performances, symposium, artist talks, club nights, workshops, films, and much more.
In a world marked by crises, conflict, and displacement, the Sonic Acts Biennial 2026 reimagines home – not as a physical structure, but as a site of invitation, attentiveness, and care. Here, to be ‘melted for love’ means to dissolve into gentleness, allowing closeness to overcome distance, and creating a foundation for a new kind of belonging.
With open ears and full hearts, we listen, attuned to the songs, transmissions, and resonances that hold us close to one another, and that call us home.
Inspired by the Palestinian national poet Mahmoud Darwish, whose verses echo in the title, the Sonic Acts Biennial 2026 takes place across iconic Amsterdam venues such as Paradiso, Muziekgebouw, W139, Arti et Amicitiae, Rozenstraat – a rose is a rose is a rose, Stedelijk Museum, Eye Filmmuseum, Zone2Source, De Ateliers/Woonhuis, Het Documentaire Paviljoen/IDFA Institute, Oude Kerk, Jakoozi, murmur, Singelkerk, Garage Noord, Athenaeum Nieuwscentrum, and Rijksmuseum, alongside a special collaboration with Framer Framed.
