Experiments

In the basement of de Krook, the Ghent library, in between the big lab of the ASIL and the room with the legendary modular synthesizer EMS Synthi 100, there is a hidden room. This secret room will become the experience room where projects around the impact of music on the listener will find a home.

A first experiment will start in spring 2025, where music for meditation will be tested in all forms, created by Reinhard Vanbergen (Charlotte & Reinhard, Rheinzand, Das Pop, Hercules & Love Affair, Novastar). The room will be completely dressed in soft long-haired fur in an attempt to disconnect the listener from the outside world. You are welcome to enjoy a first meditative composition of 5 minutes especially created for this event. This composition will be all about synchronizing the breath to the music. You can help us to perfect the room by leaving some feedback to get it in shape for the future experiments.
