Amber Meulenijzer
Amber Meulenijzer (°1994) is a sound artist from Belgium. With a background in sound and visual arts (RITCS Radio, 2016 | KASK Installation Art 2019) she researches the tension between these fields. Combining intuition and a general curiosity for the limits and flexibility of different materials, she creates work with theatrical, cinematograhic and poetic elements. The role of silence and the spectator are investigated, playing with presence / non-presence. Where does sound meet material? When does the ear guide the eye? What does the body need in order to hear? Who sings? Who listens?
She has made installations, audio pieces and performances in different contexts. The last years her research has been revolving around horn-speakers. A permanent sonic in situ investigation in situ, often resukting in performances or installations in public space. Saab Sculptures, a mobile installation on the roof of her car, has acted as a means for her to interact with different landscapes and contexts, allowing her to combine the role of performer with that of chauffeur, a double casquette she enjoys wearing. In 2023 Saab Fanfare came out on the label Edições, documenting a peformance with a brass band.
