Gaudeamus x Stranded FM: Archive Dive
Gaudeamus and Stranded FM commissioned five contemporary artists to dig up music from the vast archives of 75 years of Gaudeamus and make something new with what they found.
AN INTUITIVE EXPERIMENT BY VISUAL ARTIST SOÑA LEE & COMPOSER AART STROOTMAN
A remarkable piece of music from love of the night. Two artists from different corners of the world, another compass point. In what way will they understand each other? How can the intangible desire to create in collectivity find its own form? These are the ideal ingredients for an entirely intuitive experiment. Gaudeamus boldlyoffers the space for it, without knowing the end result. At the moment of the performance the outcome will reveal itself.
Behind the W.A.L.L – Dries Alkemade & Aart Strootman / final event
A unique insight into the collaborative process between the composer and the musicians during the development of the piece W.A.L.L. And a world premiere: brand new music for the marimba in an entirely new shape.

History can be made at any moment. On a Sunday afternoon. In a glowing recommendation. After dozens of phone calls. By listening. In the decision never to give up. Premieres sound. Batons are passed on. In full confidence. Time goes by. Pioneers cultivate new resources.
