YURI LANDMAN IN BELGRADE The peculiar dimension of the music of found objects This Dutch artist and inventor of experimental musical instruments that have been played by major rock bands around the world, such as Sonic Youth, Liars or Placebo, is giving a special musical performance for the Belgrade audience on 22 nd January
ON 22 ND JANUARY, AT BEL- GRADE’S CLUB DIM, DUTCH art- ist Yuri Landman will perform live on instruments that he has made himself, representing a combina- tion of scientifically tuned string in- struments as well as “object trouvé” (found objects) that produce specif- ic sounds. You should expect songs with peculiar dimensions, which come from amplified plastic bot- tles, hacked hard drives, the coolers of a computer fan, engines, mod- ified synthesisers, hacked phones and table string instruments with loud rhythmic beats, booms, blops etc. It sounds weird, but apart from being very atmospheric, Landman’s performances are actually harmoni- ous, rhythmic and exciting. - My first encounter with Bel- grade was at the beginning of my solo career, in 2015, at the Drug- store club. I was delighted by the space, the city and the audience. Af- ter many years dreaming of return- ing to Belgrade, it is finally happen- ing on 22 nd January. I’m happy to be able to add Belgrade to my win- ter tour, alongside Linz, Zagreb and Bordeaux. I saw photos of the club Dim, where I will be performing this time, and I was again struck by the same sense of excitement. It’s won- derful to return to the Belgrade pub- lic now, with a slightly different set and new things..., says Landman, speaking for Elevate. Alongside his career as an art- ist, he is also a professor of musi- cology and instrument design with many years of experienced gained at numerous European universities. Prior to launching his solo career, he was a bassist for the band Bis- muth, while he is a big fan of the culture of comics and has even au- thored several of his own.
