Hans Van Cauwenberghe, Willem-Jan Wellens and I, wrote a theatre production, premiered on February 11 2025.
We aim to weave science and music theatre together : tell a human story, intertwined with real modern physics, and historical explorations.
Hans performs the monologue, I am on stage with electronics and brass objects, blending (memories of) Schubert’s Winterreise - played by Anthony Romaniuk ! - with electronic sounds.
The Quantum mechanics of a heartbreak’s black hole.

Chronophone
Chronophone is a wonderful locative audio project, produced by Zonzo Compagnie.
The device lets the audience experience a soundscape that evolves, depending on where they walk in the field.
The sounds and music are based on Albert Einstein’s discovery that time does not flow equally in every place.
Handing out these machines, explaining to the children that they are participating in scientific research, watching them explore and enjoy, is a great pleasure !
Chronophone has played at several Big Bang Festivals at home and abroad, and other locations.
It was a super cooperation with Geert De Coninck.
Locative audio by Ignacio Pecino at SonicMaps.
