A curated selection of experimental sound artists from Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, and beyond present immersive works that merge field recordings, unconventional instruments, and intuitive composition.

Raymond Delepierre (BE) crafts poetic soundscapes from dust particles and environmental textures.

Mandrill Kin (BE) explores tidal energy through free improvisation with modular synths and generative sonic structures.

Petra Dubach & Mario van Horrik (NL) create aleatoric percussion with vibrating metal rods on an amplified tabletop, blending movement, chance, and sonic loops.

Mia Zabelka (AT) fuses violin, electronics, and found objects into an auditory translation of chemical and structural processes.

P-ART (BE) What unexpected synergy (meta-polyphony) arises when P-ART's live performance with organic accordion and sound objects interacts with his videoclip of unconventional and microtonal synth sounds?

Baudouin Oosterlynck (BE) balances between silence and resonance and explores subtle sonic transformations. For this occasion he lets Silvia Hatzl perform on his bondage room music (1978) and brings his "Cercles" experiment (1976/84).

The P-ART Projects with themes ranging from intuitive music, through microtonal music, to The Art of Silence are an independent, non-profit initiative by P-ART, which has successfully built an international network of alternative musicians and composers since 2002.

Over the course of eight P-ART Projects, forty contemporary music artists from fifteen different countries have contributed, each with an exclusive, previously unreleased audio work or music video.

For more information, visit p-artweb.net, where each P-ART Project has a dedicated webpage.

The artists in Passion for Experiment form a thematic group, bringing together alternative music (video) artists from different countries. This is the first time that experimental performers from diverse backgrounds have been united

in a P-ART Project exclusively focused on experimental music. Passion for Experiment is a bold collection of five video-music pieces and six audio tracks, featuring twelve artists who offer their own interpretation of what experimental music can be.

Released in an A5 booklet format (32 pages) with a DVD (+ download) or USB stick, this P-ART project invites listeners and viewers to immerse themselves in a world where sound, music, visuals, technology, and authentic expression merge.

Unlike standard music editions where a DVD comes with accompanying text (A6), here, the booklet itself provides in-depth information and integrates the DVD/USB medium. http://p-artweb.net/PASSION/PfExp.htm

Passion for Experiment is more than a compilation; it is an open-ended sonic journey that invites the audience to listen actively, embrace the unknown, and discover new dimensions of sound.
