Kaffe Matthews is an established composer/sound artist originally from England now based in Berlin, who has been working for over 20 years around what she calls Music for Bodies. Matthews creates physical listening experiences using new technologies in which musical compositions are inserted within everyday activities such as cycling, lying in bed or kayaking. For Proximity Music: Sensing After Thought she has been commissioned to make a new site specific work which combines her previous geolocated bicycle compositions in the Sonic Bike series with the tactile and meditative experience of her Sonic Bed. Using this new custom made cargo bike, Buzz Bike, visitors can explore downtown The Hague while lying within it, feeling and listening to this new composition moving around them whilst gazing at the sky and the tops of passing buildings.
Buzz Bike is designed and created by Kaffe Matthews and Nick Martin in association with Imagineer Productions (Coventry, UK). Itcan hold one adult or several children.
Proximity Music takes place from 8 - 10 April. Find out more here.
