In the mind of the composer
Lecture-performance by Wim Henderickx & Daan Janssens
Lecture-performances by Wim Henderickx and Daan Janssens
Always wanted to know how a composer sets to work? Wim Henderickx and Daan Janssens give us an exclusive insight into their modus operandi. Daan tells us how the Angel Room inspired his latest work for (electric) guitar, while Wim explains how the transience of life inspired his Memento Mori for piano. As listeners, we almost become one with the artist. We almost think the same thoughts as them, and hear those first hazy sounds looming up in their minds.
