Tilen Lebar: Vicinity of Solitude

In collaboration with South African poet Ronelda S. Kamfer, we present the ‘Vicinity of Solitude.’ Inspirational thought comes from Rashomon’s Effect, where multidimensionality and particularity of of the subject’s memory response depend on the portrayal of the so-called ‘truth.’ The portrayal represents differences in experiences through occurring events with multiple representations of the protagonists.

Ronelda’s narrative becomes somehow disrupted and developed within segments. Musical movements titled ‘A Holy Water, A Holy War & A Holy Ghost’ refer to us as the essence of the libretto. That concentrates us on the insecurity of the memory response as such. Because we are thrived on forgetting certain events within a short period of time remembering as an act – defines the narration of the events. 

Each time we recall something, the memory becomes different, distorted and altered from its initial state. You see, every poem that comes along connects the narrative of the questions that the poet had. If a certain event – as remembered depends on the outcome of the other (for instance, the memory of the cousin of the character could be approved as ignorance towards the memory of the Other) the memory becomes obstructed and defined as the only action that keeps the ‘dead ones’ alive. In that way, Memory prolonged our lives or gave us a certain power of a voice, even though it is a deformed one.

Simeon ten Holt: Canto Ostinato (Bergwerff & Vloeimans)

The Netherlands’ most famous composition? More frequently heard than the national anthem? It very well could be. The mesmerizing *Canto Ostinato* by Simeon ten Holt appears on music stands with astonishing frequency. Perhaps it helps that it can be performed on a variety of instruments.
