James Allister Sprang
James Allister Sprang creates a spatial sound experience that takes a dive into deep water, and creates a coherence between the physical, spiritual and historical meanings that are connected to it. A warm invitation to, in his own words, 'listen deeply as they welcome our bodies, our ancestors, our traumas, our pain, our desires, our visions and our dreams'.
American audiovisual artist James Allister Sprang is a true pioneer in America in the field of 4DSound technology. He makes intriguing audiovisual installations and compositions, in which means such as photography, cyanotype and spatial audio technology move in harmony. His work is often inspired by Caribbean heritage and immigration, and explores themes of diaspora, displacement and survival. James begins the listening session with a somatic breathing exercise, emphasizing the interplay of breath, emotions and body sensations to begin the musical journey in a relaxed state.
Aural Spaces
This concert is part of the Aural Spaces festival. From 12 to 15 December, a new dimension will be added to the live music experience in the Recital Hall of The Concertgebouw. The familiar red plush chairs will make way for a 4DSOUND installation, consisting of 13 pillars with 41 speakers. Classical acoustic methods are combined with the modern technology of 4DSOUND, further expanding the possibilities of sound experience.
Aural Spaces explores the boundaries between sound and space, blurring them and merging them. The result is a completely immersive listening experience that’s all too rare. Discover and feel how the music moves through space!
