This year’s resident of ensemble Modelo62, Germaine Sijstermans, is developing her new site-specific installation ‘Yareta’, over the period of three weeks at Quartair. Yareta is composed as an open score, making each of the quartet’s three live performances a unique experience. Central to the music is timbre, sound textures, and a continuous interplay with perception itself, for both musicians and listeners.
The installation is to visitors during opening hours, with the music playing through four speakers. Visitors are invited to wander freely through the space; listening, watching, thinking, lazing, and daydreaming. ‘Yareta’ is composed as an open score, making each of the quartet’s three live performances a unique experience.
The music is performed by Elliot Simpson (guitar), Santiago Lascurain (guitar), Germaine Sijstermans (clarinet), Guy Vandromme (Indian harmonium), Leslee Smucker (lights).
