Oscillation ::: The Weather

Oscillation is a pro­ject by Q‑O2 werkp­laats. The 2024 Oscillation festival is a reflection on form, format and performance. The self-evidence of an active performance linked to music has been altered with the ubiquity of electronic instruments and forms of amplification, which has also resulted in a larger variety of concert formats. Yet, absence of activity on stage does not equate to an absence of performance: objects might take that role, everyday events can be framed to perform themselves, sounds may exist as forms in themselves. Degrees of reality morph, appear, and disappear.
