PERFORATOR
Marlies van Gangelen & Akim Moiseenkov
Using classical instruments in combination with electronics and 21st century technology, Perforator puncture through traditions in their quest for the new. Comprising of Marlies van Gangelen on oboe and electronics and Akim Moiseenkov on self-built electronic instruments, the duo create playful contemporary music in the uniquely interactive show ‘Performania’. Using a variety of sensors, such as movement sensors on their bodies and adding ingenious live electronics to objects as remote control cars, balloons and plants, Perforator animate the often hidden electronic process live on stage. Perforator respect the past as they advance into the future with their innovative performance techniques and a musical language that’s entirely their own.
PERFORATOR punches holes in the notion of sheet music. Musical innovators Marlies van Gangelen (oboe) and Akim Moiseenkov (electronics) make fun electronic contemporary music from . Together they explore the connection between sound and space using motion sensors and improvisation.
The vibrant duo premiered at Holland Festival 2016 and has since collaborated with several composers and artists, commissioning works from Judd Greenstein, Nik Bärtsch, Shara Nova, Julia Holter and Daniel Wohl.

PERFORATOR X
Perforator XL is an experimental ensemble comprised of five Dutch musicians who are dedicated to the exploration of creative music making.
For their first project, instead of performing fully composed works, the ensemble has commissioned six international composers to contribute ‘musical backbones’ – creative starting points from which the ensemble can explore and create. These ‘musical backbones’ can be anything from a groove, a chord sequence, a melody or a set of instructions. The only restriction is: one backbone has to fit on one A4 sheet of paper. With the backbones functioning as building blocks for an hour of improvisation, in each concert Perforator restructures the content and builds a unique sonic texture.
