Since 1997, over 200 sessions of stray images and sound have been organised. Artists, writers, scientists and musicians present work in progress, experiment or present work that doesn't fit into their oeuvre (yet). A specific and unique stage for diverse and hybrid works which don't fit comfortably into galleries or museums.

The Canadian artist-team Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller have built up an impressive multimedia practice in which sound and voice are both material and subject.
Installation, 2018
The Instrument of Troubled Dreams is a site-specific installation composed in and around the Oude Kerk. The melletron is actually and ancestor of the 1980s sampler. It has 72 keys, each of them programmed to play a different sound effect, vocal track or musical fragment. The work revolves around a story specially composed for the Oude Kerk. Many of the sounds were recorded in and around the Oude Kerk.
