Making music with the colours of De Stijl? You can do so every third Sunday of the month at JazzLab in Style!
What does Red sound like? What sound does the sun make? Every painting tells a story and you can 'sound out' that story. During the JazzLab workshop, you can discover for yourself how paintings, colours and images sound! Using the Style Colours, we will bring a painting to life musically and make our own swinging composition which we will also record! Afterwards, you can listen to the composition on our web site.
The artists of the De Stijl art movement worked with the primary colours red, yellow and blue. We will use these colours to make music in a very special way in the JazzLab in Stijl workshop at the Mondrian House. Led by teacher Miriam Veeger, each child gets to record their own music fragment. This can be a sound or melody with your own voice or with one of the instruments brought along by the workshop teacher. Your own composition will be linked to a colour. Want to know how we turn all those fragments into swinging Jazz? Then come to the workshop!
Abstracting music into individual sounds or melody lines and then reassembling it into new swinging jazz is, of course, also very much in keeping with Stylist Mondrian. He was a master of abstraction as well as a great lover of jazz.
Miriam Veeger is violinist, workshop inventor and creative mastermind/founder of The Violin Lab.
