Antwerp based musician and sound artist Liew Niyomkarn creates a site specific sound piece for the Leuven town hall’s courtyard (‘Vrijthof’). Entitled We will echo time until the end of it, she uses musical methods and poetry of the 15th century — the time in which the town hall was built. A prerecorded composition incorporating polyphonic elements, Renaissance poetry and field recordings of the present time is spatialized by four megaphone speakers positioned in different spots. The artist transforms the courtyard into a container of memories of love and conversion, delivering an immersive experience within the time and space where one’s interior and exterior worlds blend into one.
