About the event
Catching Flies (George King) plays electronic music with influences from hip hop, house, jazz, and ambient in the ARTIS Planetarium. Fractal artist Julius Horsthuis provides the visuals. Together, they take you on an audiovisual experience under the dome. Electronic music under the starry sky
Catching Flies is the stage name of British musician George King. He combines electronic music with elements of hip-hop, house, jazz, and ambient. His music has something familiar and something alienating at the same time: deep bass tones, melodic layers, and rhythmic patterns that draw you in. With releases on labels such as Ninja Tune and Anjunadeep, he has built an international reputation. Artists like Bonobo, Diplo, and Nils Frahm have expressed their appreciation for his work.
Fractal art as a visual world
Julius Horsthuis is a Dutch fractal artist who creates digital worlds based on mathematical structures. His images are organic, endless, and sometimes almost meditative. For this performance, he translates the music of Catching Flies into moving images that fill the dome of the ARTIS Planetarium. This creates a spatial experience where sound and image reinforce each other.
The ARTIS Planetarium as a backdrop
The ARTIS Planetarium in Amsterdam offers a unique setting for a concert. The circular dome hall was built to immerse visitors in a larger whole. This makes it a fitting venue for an audiovisual performance like this one. Dome Concerts frequently organizes these types of events at unique locations. Are you interested?
