Thuistezien 54 — 15.05.2020

No View, The Radio VI
Your Feeling
Genevieve Murphy


Today we proudly present the first single and video of I Don’t Want To Be An Individual All On My Own, a new album by composer Genevieve Murphy. An exclusive release for Thuistezien by West Den Haag and SPRING on Screen by SPRING Performing Arts Festival Utrecht.

On this album, experimental song writing alternates with resonating soundscapes. Murphy investigates what attracts us and what repels us through her intelligent sonic narratives. In the theater performance, bearing the same name, Murphy will extend this research into the realm of everyday social life. How relatable should one be in order to be seen and understood?

Genevieve Murphy (Scotland, 1988) studied music and composition at the conservatoirs of Glasgow, Birmingham and The Hague. Murphy is a composer of contemporary classical music with influences of pop music and improvisation. Her pieces have been performed by ensembles all over the world. As an upcoming performing artist in theatre, she combines her musical compositions with theatrical narratives and visual art.

About the series: No View, The Radio
The arts are taking a break. Theaters, museums, concert halls and galleries are closed. To a large extent, the art that is so desperately needed right now is inaccessible. Imagine being quarantined at home without films, without books, without music. Though we may not access the art, we can still think about it. The enforced rupture of this isolation can also be an opportune moment to reflect on and from, the arts. Every Friday for the upcoming weeks we will showcase original musical works by different artists, selected by Alex Andropoulos.
