Melting Universe is a female experimental sound program presented to you by Meduse MagiQ. A series of sonic dialogues by some of our favorite sound witches. The first edition consists of two sound performances by Jessica Moss and Monica Tormell. Plantage Doklaan 8, Amsterdam Doors open: 19.00 (w/ dinner!) Music starts around 20.00 DJ Tomoyuki Katsurada (Kikagaku Moyo) JESSICA MOSS ♥️ Montreal violinist best known as a permanent member of Silver Mt Zion. May 2017 heralds Jessica Moss’ first official full-length solo release. Comprised of two side-length multi-movement compositions, Pools Of Light is a stunning work that unfolds at a stately, inexorable pace, combining sound-art and signal-processed timbres, extended melodic and contrapuntal lines, and the periodic deployment of stark, minimalist vocals. Recorded with kindred spirit Radwan Ghazi Moumneh and released on the only label home she knows, Constellation Records, Jessica says she “is feeling fucking grateful to be doing what I’m doing right now” and hopes to see you on the road. https://jessicamoss.bandcamp.com/ MONICA TORMELL - MOON & SUN ♥️ An audiovisual journey on the verge of apocalypse and universal hope. Moon & Sun explores the realm of the psychospehere, interweaving reality and imagination, the inner and the outer world. It is not a window we are looking out of but a world we travel in.  The performance is a collaboration with Nicole Martens (visuals) and Felicia von Zweigberk. Wake up the stones Tell them it’s time We’re stuck in a scission upside down Call upon whirlwinds Spin us around Shake up the fretful Now is the time http://moonandsunmusic.com/ Tickets: 10 euro at the door // donation for basement program Free with WE ARE PUBLIC Timetable will be posted soon in the facebook event

Preparing the year, the eye and ear for all that is coming in waves. We are creating an experimental concert series named MELTING UNIVERSE. Really happy to announce one of our favorite modern sound witches joining our Meduse MagiQ stage at Plantage Dok in May. You do not want to miss her as she is truly special and transports you with her sonic story that reminds you of oceans and collective imagery: @missjessicamoss ✨ #entirepopulations #jessicamoss #medusemagiq #witches #violin #meltinguniverse #ocean #poolsoflight (bij Dokzaal)

♥ the cold winds of change have been blowing. Not only are our bodies forced to submerge in the movement, the roof has left the house, the human lost his bike, and the water comes in waves to wash out the past year. As we are contemplating our life outside from our window, we ask ourselves, has nature turned it’s back on us now that we have been turning our back on nature? It’s Thursday morning; a tourist, a witch, and an alcoholic are waiting for the supermarket to open its gates. Curled up in our beds, we cannot witness the power of change, and as we want to float, fly and free ourselves, we decide to go into the world and add some sound to the storm. We use our rage, our anger our fire.. burning bright red. Apparently 2018 holds some apocalyptic powers. Are we ready for this? We will gather and stick together as an answer. We dream of ancient rituals to bring back our voices. We gather in research and circles. Cut the crap. 'Love is the war to end all wars, and the war is upon us.' ♥ #sonicwitches #medusemagiq #petergrey #apocalypticwitchcraft

The 'Sonic Witches' circle has opened. Meduse MagiQ is introducing an extensive research, art and sound project and is looking for female participants who have anything to say about #hysteria •••••••••••••••••••••••••• please write us a proposal if this has your interest. [email protected] “Not only is the actual word "hysteria" gendered — it once referred to an exclusively female disease, a mental illness thought to be caused by a malfunctioning uterus — there is a very long history of critics using accusations or innuendo about women's mental health or emotional stability in order to shut down their political voices.” ― Sady Doyle #hysteria #sonicwitches #art #sound #movement #ritual #medusemagiq

Prepare yourself for the Sonic Storm and reconnect to your inner Ninja. On the 20th of October Meduse MagiQ will host a very special workshop by Lea Kieffer a.k.a Sue-cide and Rocio Marano a.k.a Cat Ninja at Cruquiusweg 120a, Amsterdam. The Ninja Practice The term Ninja refers in our case to a certain state of mind from where we create and move: When the inner ninja is awaken the space is ready to be shaped by the continuous encounter of mystical beasts. The Ninja practice combines intense physicality with somatic practices and partnering work implementing performative scores and tasks of own authorship. Grabbing, locking, rubbing, twisting, bending, jumping, using your feet as hands and your hands as forks. There is a lot to discover in the making itself. Games are made from rules, but rules are made from gaming, too. A matter of trust, a longing for cinematic moments, for a new beginning every time, to start from scratch and from scratching. We will provide a context where all bodies can participate to discover their inner ninja, as well as we will learn how to protect our bodies and the others. The ninja practice started in 2012 when Lea Kieffer a.k.a Sue-cide and Rocio Marano a.k.a Cat Ninja literally crashed into each other pulled by their physical obsessions and wild imagination. In Between bodies colliding, flying and landing, the ninjas geekiness passes thru different layers and mediums of expression ignited by their quirkiness and fantastic storytelling. Together they create and share their practice internationally through performances, events, workshops and videos. The Ninja practice is open to everyone of every gender and age, no dance experience needed. Only comfortable clothes and a comfortable soul ready to experiment. Let us know if you want to participate asap on [email protected]. suggested donation is 10eu-30eu and will go to the Ninja masters. #ninja #innerninja #sonicstormpreparations #medusemagiq #stormyweather #leakieffer
