How musical is Amsterdam’s Central Station?
Fragments
of a telephone conversation sing a duet with the soft hum of an
escalator. Hurried footsteps, a whistle, and a muffled public address
announcement are transformed into a sweet song suddenly drowned out by
the roar of roller suitcases.
In its latest concert series –
Loop-Copy-Mutate: Music from People and Places – the Genetic Choir turns
the station’s sounds into a choral performance. Underground, in the yet
unfinished North-South Line metro station, the choir takes these sounds
and – together with laptop musician Robert van Heumen and programmer
Stelios Manousakis – uses them for an instant composition concert: Music
as vital and unpredictable as the city itself.
STARTING POINT:
Ticket
holders please check in at the reception of Noord/Zuidlijn, to the
right (east) of the main entrance of Amsterdam Central Station (address:

The underground metro station is currently
still a building site with safety restrictions, and participants will
need to be good walkers. It might be chilly at the site, so it is
advised to bring warm clothing.
