NEW OHM LIVE DATES!

BINKBEATS presents : OHM

Dutch beat-artist Binkbeats announces a new live-project, titled ‘OHM’. The first performances will take place on the 27th and 28th of January 2023 at ‘Paardenkathedraal’ theatre in Utrecht.

Binkbeats is known for his progressive compositions which explore the boundaries between acoustic and electronic music. For his new project he collaborated with multi-disciplinary artist Henk Schut. His electro-acoustical objects combined with ritual percussion and influences from modern dance music form the spill in a fully immersive experience.

Out of great curiosity in sound, Wienk experimented with transforming synthetic sounds into an analog, acoustic source. In that search he found Henk Schut: making physical objects vibrate through electronic signals appeared to be a common interest. The musicality of Wienk and the expertise of Schut complemented each other: together they designed a new installation which plays an important role in ‘OHM’.

Musically, Wienk took inspiration from ritual instruments and techno-sounds. Drums with animal skins, timbila, simantra and a lithophone, but also drumcomputer kickdrums and deep basses. Polyrhythms are a key element in the compositions; as they shift in multiple layers over one another, they create a variable sense of time for the listener.

The release of the music is set later this year.
