| Foton, FoAM and Beursschouwburg are uniting forces again to present FO(am)tones (aka FOtones Special Edition), a parallel world full of ear and eye candy. The outernational FO(am)tones line-up goes from minimal, psychedelic and physical electronica to high energy beats, breaks and bass. Intense horizontal listening experiences gradually transform into wicked dance-floor action, the whole wrapped up in a synaesthetic world of mesmerizing visuals, tactile sensations and edible treats. | Foton, FoAM and Beursschouwburg are uniting forces again to present FO[am]tones (aka FOtones Special Edition), a parallel world full of ear and eye candy.

| We will begin in a meditative atmosphere, a dark 'horizontal' listening space. Lophorina eases us into the evening with her minimalist trip through silence and chaos. Her sound flows into Mahadev Cometo’s melange of Indian sitar and electronic rhythms, followed by abstract resonances of Angel. Peter van Hoesen’s Berlin-techno coax us to move from intently listening to merrily dancing to Lowdjo’s booty & bass in a crescendo to meet Antz with his Jamaican joie de vivre. Filastine & Nova’s energetic percussion and melancholic vocals brings us back to the gritty reality of a globalised world and 6siss closes the evening with his quiet, cinematographic fade-out. All the while we are immersed in FoAM’s otherworldly ambience, constructed from light, air, pixels and recycled materials. | We will begin in a meditative atmosphere, a dark 'horizontal' listening space.

| A distributed network of labs for speculative culture, FoAM is a co-creator of FO(am)tones, responsible for the visual, tactile and gustatory experiences. FoAM members from Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK come together to infuse the evening with ethereal atmospheres, alchemical glitches and anarcho-dandyist costumery. | A transdisciplinary network for speculative culture, FoAM creates immersive experiences for all senses. Using audio-visual, tactile and edible media, FoAM transforms the monotones of the everyday into ethereal atmosphere of peak experiences, where technology becomes indistinguishable from magic. FoAM's members will infuse FO[am]tones with visual memories, alchemical treats, graceful (digital) decay, physical translucency and anarcho-dandyist costumery. |

| Graduated as an award-winning experimental fashion designer in the 90s, since the millennium Cocky’s work has been mainly revolving around lightweight spatial compositions and her favorite media have become wind and air. This resulted in floating and flying experiments in large, voluminous forms. In 2012 she created Sphaerae, an inflatable multi-dome pavilion for immersive and synesthetic experiences (presented at Ars Electronica, TodaysArt 2013, GOGBOT and AxS- Pasadena). With Schweigman& she created the scenography for two contemporary theatre pieces; Frame (Shanghai 2012) and Blaas (2013 Oerol, Torino, Boulevard/Den Bosch, Fort aan de Klop/Utrecht 2013-2014). Cocky is the co-founder of FoAM Amsterdam, as well as a teacher and member of the core team of of the ArtScience Interfaculty in Den Haag. | Graduated as an award-winning experimental fashion designer in the 90s, since the millennium Cocky’s work has been mainly revolving around lightweight spatial compositions and her favorite media have become wind and air.
