Sound & Still is an experiment and an invitation: what would nightlife look like if it was all about calm, slowness, stillness and - so often forgotten - listening together? Join us and immerse yourself in a sound bath, underwater visuals, nature sounds, meditative ambient, hypnotic rhythms and quadraphonic melodies that reveal deeper connections between yourself, each other and the world.
Come on time, because from 22h30 to 23h15 the doors will close for an intimate, lying-down performance by a sonic mermaid. Afterwards, we will continue together - quietly - until deep into the dark night <3

siREn cAlls
With siREn cAlls Karolien Polenus boldly merges creative practices, spirituality, and science. The captivating water element serves as her profound channel, allowing her to unravel the intricacies of body, soul, and mind. As a sound alchemist, and licensed sound therapist, she likes to expand people’s consciousness with spiritual frequencies and hosts monthly sound baths to invite people to explore their inner landscapes.
Under her other pseudonym NiXiE, Karolien is a visionary and tastemaking regular in the underground of Brussels and beyond for over a decade, both as an organiser and a DJ. The main recurring theme in her ever disruptive parcours is the ability to seamlessly bridge different genres and (sonic) spaces.
Alex Rita
Alex Rita — the Copenhagen-born, London-based selector, illustrator, singer and designer
— is the driving force between not one but two NTS Radio staples. First there is Touching Bass, the South London-based community-come-club night, concert series, record label and curatorial/creative studio, which she and her partner Errol have slow-cooked to become a musical institution. And then there is Calm Roots, a monthly exploration of meditative and hypnotic sounds from around the globe, which has developed a cult following both online and IRL, including bookings at the likes of Brainchild and We Out Here festivals. An exceptionally experienced hand, ear, mind and soul to immerse us into a night of sounds & stillness.
Jessica Ekomane
Jessica Ekomane is a French-born and Berlin-based electronic musician and sound artist. Her quadraphonic performances, characterized by their physical affect, seek a cathartic effect through the psychoacoustic interplay of rhythmic structures, noise and melody. Questions such as the relationship between individual perception, collective dynamics and societal listening expectations guide her sonic research.
Jessica Ekomane was part of the SHAPE Platform roster of artists in 2019. Since then her work has appeared at the Venice Biennale, Ars Electronica in Linz and Dommune in Tokyo amongst many others. Her debut LP Multivocal was released by Important Records.
MIMI
Maria Muehombo, known as M I M I/ mimi green is a multi-undisciplined artist and researcher based in Brussels. Born in Lusaka, Zambia, she moved to Belgium at a very young age. As a Dj she has gained recognition locally and internationally, having played at Horst, Nyege Nyege and Dekmantel Selectors while also holding down residencies at Oroko Radio (Ghana) and Kiosk Radio. Her artistic work is rooted in an ongoing exploration of the micro world, where zooming in becomes a way to better understand. Simultaneously scientific and spiritual, this focus on the details helps to reveal larger truths about the relationship between the self and the world.
Beursschouwburg is very happy and proud that MIMI is one of its associated artists for 2024-2026
