"Music for an installation by Cocky Eek, in collaboration with Schweigman&
Sucked into an endless tunnel, the audience find their way in an ambulant rhythm. Each step drawing closer to the inevitable, the outside world drifting further away. In Curve visual artist Cocky Eek, composer Rutger Zuydervelt, and theatre-maker Boukje Schweigman present a dizzying, disorienting journey which brings together light, material, sound and architectural form. Curve is an installation, a complete experience in a bewildering magical world.
The Curve installation is a two-part inflatable tube, with a diameter of 2.5 meters, positioned as two interlocking spirals. One enters the Curve, walks through it, uninterrupted, with the rhythm of the music indicating the pace. At the end of the first tube, in the middle of the installation, there's an open space. Still slowly walking, the visitor enters the second tube, which spirals outwards and leads towards the exit. The whole experience takes about 20 minutes, and is as beautiful as it is dissorienting.
In the installation, the music (played in a seamless loop) is spread through eight channels, each going to four speakers, so the sound is very spacious. For this standalone version of the score, I tried to make a stereo adaptation that mimics that spatial quality as closely as possible. It might not be the complete 'Curve experience', but it might transport you to interesting places nonetheless."-Rutger Zuydervelt

Artist Biographies
• Show Bio for Rutger Zuydervelt "Machinefabriek is the alias of Rutger Zuydervelt. Rutger's music combines elements of ambient, noise, minimalism, drone, field recordings and electro-acoustic experiments. His pieces can be heard as an attempt to create sonic environments for the listener to dwell in. Finding tension in texture, tone and timing, the result can be very minimalistic at first glance, but reveals itself upon closer listening. The devil is in the details. Rutger was born in 1978 in Apeldoorn (The Netherlands) and now resides in Rotterdam. He started recording as Machinefabriek in 2004. After a series of self released cd-rs, his official debut Marijn was issued in 2006, with great critical acclaim. Since than, a solid stream of music was released on labels such as Type, Important, Home Normal, 12K, Entr'acte, Dekorder, Miasmah, Consouling Sounds, Experimedia and Staalplaat. He performed all over the globe, from Canada to Israel and from Russia to Japan. Rutger collaborated (on record and/or live) with numerous artists, such as Steinbrüchel, Jaap Blonk, Aaron Martin, Peter Broderick, Frans de Waard, Mats Gustafsson, Steve Roden, Gareth Davis, Stephen Vitiello, Michel Banabila, Dirk Serries and Dead Neanderthals, amongst many others. He frequently works with film makers, like Makino Takashi, Mike Hoolboom, John Price, Paul Clipson and Chris Teerink, for whom he composed a soundtrack for his documentary about Sol LeWitt. Rutger also recorded the music for the Canadian drama The Cold and the Quiet from 2014. Furthermore, his music was used in Edward Burtynsky's Watermark, the drama Stone (with Robert DeNiro and Edward Norton) and Josh Fox' influential Gasland and Gasland Part II documentaries. Besides films, Rutger also composes music for dance pieces, like Alix Eynaudi and Kris Verdonck's EXIT (premiéred at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin), Alexander Whitley's The Measures Taken (for the Royal Opera in London) and Beheld (for Candoco Dance Company), and multiple pieces by Spanish/Dutch choreographer Iván Pérez. Then there's Rutgers installation work, in which the dialogue with the environment plays an important role. He did projects for Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, NAi (Dutch Architecture Institute), the new Armando Museum MOA, Sounds Like Audio Art in Saskatoon (Canada), the Into the Great Wide Open Festival, Netwerk in Aalst (Belgium) and children's museum Villa Zebra in Rotterdam." ^ Hide Bio for Rutger Zuydervelt
