Danya’s music is closely intertwined with his research into collective experiences of time in musical practices. Understanding time as an emerging property of consciousness affected by social interactions necessitates increased attention to the relationships between musicians and audiences in his pieces. To facilitate these interactions, he employs various compositional strategies and listening techniques, engaging the materiality of sound.

Ample Space Between

A site-specific sound installation that shapes and is shaped by the acoustics of the room where it is placed. It focuses on the connection between the aural experience of space and time by creating a ‘boundary’ or ‘hybrid’ space – a specific kind of acoustic space created by mixing the acoustics of several spaces. Created in collaboration with Gregor Connelly (creative audio technology, live electronics), Dennis Slootweg (metal stands), and Nirantar Yakthumba (coding), the installation features a series of resonant objects designed to interact with their surroundings.

Ample Space Between was created with the generous support of Trixie Den Haag and Makersregeling Gemeente Den Haag.
