Marit Shalem & Dirk Bruinsma plus Teller & Sutherland

An event featuring two multimedia projects. Teller & Sutherland spent a week working in the WORM Studio, including creating a radio piece for Worm Radio and further developing a project they started several years ago. We have had Teller in the WORM Studio before, and it was an unmitigated pleasure; he collaborated with a variety of local musicians and artists back then, which yielded beautiful results, so expectations are high. Bruinsma & Shalem -SpOp- are presenting new work; almost everything they do interests us, and certainly this time, a hybrid work featuring almost everything, but also a little something extra.

Jørgen Teller & David Sutherland Starting September 28 at Worm, Teller & Sutherland are collaborating on new synth- and string-based works for their first duo concert and release. Additionally, they will present a special audio session based on a vinyl record of "A Day in Algonquin Park"—sounds that existed 50 years ago, 6,000 km from Rotterdam. Their collaboration originated in two co-writing sessions in Toronto with Static Teller & NYAWB in 2022 and 2025. As a trio—with Paul Stillwell—they have one release on Bandcamp. The next—recorded in the summer of 2025—will appear in late 2026. https://nyawb.bandcamp.com/album/theres-a-first-time-for-everything

**Cymph by Marit Shalem -SpOp- & Dirk Bruinsma** Cymph is the new audiovisual project by duo SpOp&Bruinsma. The title Cymph refers to the film genre 'City-Symphonies,' in which a day in the life of a specific city is portrayed. As a variation on this idea, with Cymph we offer a live collage from various cities, focusing on working-class neighborhoods and repetitive, functional architecture. Images and sound recordings are combined live into a kaleidoscopic whole that encompasses the atmosphere of these locations and their inhabitants in multiple ways. Expect from Cymph a performance featuring an improvised composition that draws connections between fragmentation and fluidity, structures and textures alongside text fragments, interstitial spaces, skies, reflections, pests, transparencies, playful lighting, monumentality and decay, and not to forget: the human being as an inhabitant within and between them. All this in 30-40 minutes of audiovisual, capricious harmony. More at: www.spop.nl/wp/frar
