Cikada

Children's Games Composer: Slinckx

His composition builds on a haunting image: children climbing and hurling themselves down dusty slopes of mining waste in Lubumbashi inside of discarded tires.

Pierre develops his own digital electronic instruments in a 'one-man band' perspective (even if he doesn't have any solo project), often rejecting click tracks and pre-recorded tapes. He's currently writing a cycle for Belgian ensemble Fractales using extensively several models of Casio synths. He received the Prix Henri Pousseur (2014), the Prix André Souris (2016) and he was awarded an Octave de la Musique for his album M #1 (2020).

Come and listen to Pierre's response to Francis Alÿs' films at Ultima Oslo Contemporary Music Festival on September 12th and 14th at Astrup Fearnley.
