for two months the work of karmel sabri will be exhibited in the space.

“How can I be free from desire when I desire freedom?” is a collection of layered silk paintings and textile drawings that explore the visceral and the intuitive. Karmel follows the first spark of attention as she opens her eyes to the street: a bird, a window façade, a car on fire, each moment pulling her inward. From these encounters, she develops a personal aesthetic language rooted in intuition, desire, and material exploration.

Birds emerge as a central motif, symbolizing freedom of movement and the longing for it within a world structured by borders. The work exists at the intersection of longing, loss, pain, and beauty, holding tension between what is seen, what is felt, and what remains out of reach.

𓇌 food pop-up by the migrant kitchen 𓇌

The Migrant Kitchen is a research-based project aimed to study and celebrate the food and ingredients used in the diaspora, as well as their various interconnections. This project, while connecting different cultures, takes special focus on African cuisine, particularly in Lusophone countries (Angola, Cabo Verde, Moçambique, Guiné-Bissau and São Tomé e Príncipe) as a base for understanding the historical connection with the wider world.

Rita was born in Lisbon, and her experience and practices were profoundly shaped by life on the suburban side of the capital. She is the face behind the Migrant Kitchen and the founder of Atelier. Through these projects, she seeks to create communities and bonds with those around her.

During the pop-up at Murmur, Migrant Kitchen will seek to reconnect with its roots by reproducing the flavors from West Africa, but also by rethinking the ingredients that are so common in this gastronomic tradition.

we welcome marijn s & nakano blu, who have just released 'UPPER CUT EP' on 'NU-S3RVO': shaped by years of shared listening and an obsession with low-end pressure and drum workouts, their release reflects a sound-system intent with experimental, forward-leaning production. The tracks hit hard but stay restless — distorted subs, fractured breaks and constantly shifting grooves collide, reflecting a mutual influence rooted in experimental bass music and uncompromising rhythm design. Together they’ll bring this energy into the evening.

Heart Rests Twice is a concert series taking place across five Thursday nights at murmur as part of Sonic Acts Biennial 2026, Melted for Love.

The first edition brings together artists who work with repetition, the voice, and live sound transformation. Rather than presenting fixed compositions, the performances build and reshape sound in real time, allowing voices, rhythms, and textures to evolve within the space. In keeping with the Biennial’s theme, the series opens with a fiery performance – one of flames, risk, and possibility.

Eve Aboulkheir’s Pyro Voices creates music using fire. Alcohol-coated glass vessels are ignited and played live, producing resonant tones that are captured, repeated, and sent back into the room, making the architecture itself part of the performance. Dali de Saint Paul works with the voice as a space for expression and resistance. In a fully improvised set inspired by the poetry of Mahmoud Darwish, she layers and alters her voice to move between languages and identities, challenging familiar ideas of meaning and power. Imvisage – the duo of Théo Fernandez and Antoine Alcaraz – explore how repeating sounds can feel both intimate and unstable. Using a minimal setup of light sensors, drum machine, and voice, they build patterns that are constantly adjusted and reshaped, balancing precision with unpredictability.

Across Heart Rests Twice, artists explore ideas of home, place, and belonging through attentive, shared listening. In murmur’s surround sound space in Amsterdam Noord, each concert is followed by a Q&A, opening up conversation around sound, space, and presence.

The Sonic Acts Biennial 2026 takes place from 5 February to 29 March 2026 in Amsterdam, with 80 events across 20 venues, featuring work by 200+ artists. This large-scale arts manifestation includes concerts, listening sessions, a symposium, film screenings, exhibitions, masterclasses, workshops, and site-specific projects.

Piuma presents Spirae, a new concert series.

Spirae unfolds through the act of intentional listening. It forms an invisible architecture of sound: reverberations, thuds, the dense strum of a guitar, entwined with distant, bending frequencies.

Spirae responds to a technocentric culture of excess, to sound consumed through screens and clubs. It offers a pause and a shared focus. We sit together, we listen together, and we move inward together.

Son Of Chi presents a live preview of his upcoming project Son Of Chi Sings, to be released after the summer of 2026. Ambient soundscapes, electronics, and classic songwriting unfold alongside trumpet work by Arthur Flink.

Axé, a new project by Brian Fasano and Colin Wegman, moves through monotone and transcendental forms. Modular synthesis and prerecorded samples create a slow, steady field of sound.

Han Litz, joined by percussionists Heiko Dijker and Sean Fasano, closes the evening. Flute and rhythm meet in an open, searching interplay grounded in long-form listening.

What happens when a sound system is treated not as a fixed machine, but as something alive, flexible, and open to change? Heart Rests Twice is a concert series taking place across five Thursday nights at murmur as part of Sonic Acts Biennial 2026, Melted for Love. For this edition, murmur’s surround sound system is expanded with eight additional Distributed Mode Loudspeakers (DML). These 3D-printed speakers, designed by acoustical engineer Danny van der Lugt, create multiple layers of sounding space.

ORGANIZACIÓN SECRETARIAT – experimental musicians Elizabeth Davis (also known as Wilted Woman) and Hugo Esquinca – work with feedback, gesture, and unstable sound processes. Their performance CULMINATION is a one-time event, developed over several years. Although carefully planned on paper, no electrical connections are made in advance, allowing the sound system to shape the piece in real time.

Sadnoise, the performance project of Femi Shonuga-Fleming, approaches sound as a form of ritual and exchange with the environment. Blending electronics, unconventional instruments, and organic materials, his work creates shifting sound worlds that feel both digital and earthly, moving between imagined and physical spaces.

JacqNoise has developed a new performance specifically for the custom speaker setup. Working with modular synthesisers, she builds dense textures where rhythms overlap, tones stretch, and melodies bend, responding directly to the behaviour of the system and the room.

Across Heart Rests Twice, artists explore ideas of home, place, and belonging through attentive, shared listening. In murmur’s surround sound space in Amsterdam Noord, each concert is followed by a Q&A, opening space for reflection and conversation.

we invite ozzy jones for the evening. ozzy is a genre-blurring artist with an eclectic music library. He'll play basically anything, as long as it makes you feel something. From bobbing your head to hip hop, zoning out in lush pads, shedding a tear to some overly emotional indie or dancing your brain out, it's all possible. Let's see.

big hands & zohar join forces for the evening. expect dense textures and rhythm-driven sound.

Big Hands is the primary moniker of artist Andrea Ottomani, who also releases music as Andrea Ottomani Nonet and Otto Von Lumi. He is best known for his serpentine, labyrinthine electronic productions, which have found a home on labels such as Al Wootton’s Trule, Blank Mind, and Vargmal.

In recent years, Ottomani has developed a more intimate and personal electronic sound—one that owes as much to free jazz and psych-rock as it does to leaden styles like dub and techno.

Heart Rests Twice is a concert series taking place across five Thursday nights at murmur as part of Sonic Acts Biennial 2026, Melted for Love. This third edition explores time as memory in motion – held, carried, and passed on – with artists building counter-archives through improvisation and sound, reaching for what remains of home.

Kween presents a new work that weaves archival material into a meditation on home – not as a fixed place, but as an embodied experience shaped by socio-cultural conditions and the tensions of longing or resisting belonging. Using cassette recordings exchanged between their mother and grandmother in 1990s Syria, alongside collected visual and audio materials, Kween layers and loops traditional Arabic instruments with their voice, creating a space where connection and dislocation coexist.

Cairo-based composer and sound artist Nancy Mounir uncovers what remains of home: traces carved in stone, preserved in books, and embedded in the land, attending to what is overlooked, fragmented, or erased. Through electroacoustic composition and live performance, Mounir explores reminiscence, continuing a trajectory begun with her album Nozhet El Nofous (2022), with a focus on ‘non-existent’ memories, lost frequencies, and microtonality.

Virus2020 presents a live electroacoustic performance developed through research on handmade hybrid wind instruments in dialogue with electronics. Breath, noise, and machines converge into a fractured, ritualistic sound field, reflecting on memory, transformation, and uncertain futures.

Across Heart Rests Twice, artists explore ideas of home, place, and belonging through attentive, shared listening. In murmur’s surround sound space in Amsterdam Noord, each concert is followed by a Q&A, opening space for reflection and conversation.

Heart Rests Twice is a concert series taking place across five Thursday nights at murmur as part of Sonic Acts Biennial 2026, Melted for Love. This edition explores sound, code, and archival fragments, asking how so-called “intelligence” is understood, weaponised, and embedded in everyday life. The artists probe hidden networks and infrastructure, opening speculative techno-futures and alternative sonic worlds.

Writer and researcher Flavia Dzodan presents a live listening session around Transatlantic Drift – an algorithmic sound work on migration, absence, and the impossibility of return. Continuous shifting tones trace an Atlantic crossing, fed by live weather data, as the audience witnesses the code unfold in real time, sonifying displacement without closure.

Sondi presents a newly commissioned audiovisual performance, Non-User Friendly, on the ecological, political, and cultural realities of AI, with a soundtrack by Kween. In the interactive work, human and machine confront each other, exposing extractive logics and challenging the fantasy of neutrality.

Mexican sound artist Leslie García reworks the Sun Ra / El Saturn tape archive – over 600 recordings by the Afrofuturist composer – by focusing on glitches, interruptions, and atemporal residues. Using spectral analysis, synthesis, and AI, she transforms these traces into restless, time-bending sound worlds, opening portals to Sun Ra’s “other planes of there” beyond dominant perspectives.

Hannah Hajar is an electronic duo influenced by mystical dub, ambient, bass, and musique concrète, singing in Amharic, the official language of Ethiopia. Their soundscapes drift between rhythmic and contemplative layers, where accordion dissolves into synthetic textures and deconstructed rhythms twist through shadows – some haunting, some soothing – revealing veiled dreams.

Beirut Birds (طيور بيروت) is a long-term project by Lebanese artist Nour Sokhon. Using interviews, field recordings, voice, piano, electronics, violin, and even objects of transit like luggage wheels and office bells, the project traces personal and collective stories of migration and displacement. The resulting soundscapes transform time and movement into an in-between space for those who left and those who remain.

Guitarist Nina Garcia and trombonist Maria Bertel push themselves and their instruments to the limits. Through feedback, drones, crackling circuits, overtones, and random harmonies, the duo – working together since 2016 – creates intense, immersive improvisations that test the edges of sound and perception.

for our next night of dancing at murmur, we’ve booked your fav dj’s fav dj: some are storytellers; some are historians, keepers of dance music’s flame. ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U can be all of these, but he is also something like a combination of shaman, warrior, and trickster. Mind-bending yet seamless connections across every imaginable genre - read youtube’s comment sections of his sets if you did not, yet. We’re delighted to have him over for a murmur club night on october 19, resident and friend Patrice Keace providing sonic weaving textures before.

La Serpiente + a. certo on that listening tip all night. Marco Segato a.k.a. La Serpiente is a sonic explorer, producer and live performer currently based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. He's the co-founder of Rete Neurale Milano E.S.T. - an event born in the infamous Milanese multi-cultural space Macao - and curator of the mix series Empty Signal Transmission. He has been a Red Bull Music Academy alumnus in 2016 in Montréal (Canada) and graduated in Audio Production at SAE Institute Milan in 2017. During the last years Marco released his music under four different monikers: La Serpiente, MS, Narvalos (with Alessio Costantino) & eoobe (with Elina Tapio). Across these projects his sound maintains a sense of mysticism brewing with eerie tension, influenced and incorporating sounds of broken beats, post-industrial experimentations, and ritualistic elements to conjure psychic immersion. He produces and performs live sets with a combination of analogue and digital hardware, with a sonic outcome that is always saturating the mind with extra-musical ideas.

Join us for this autumn edition of our monthly drawing club, where we'll gather under the warm lights of murmur for a silent deep listening drawing session. Enjoy a live performance by Cagan, who will share sounds on the theme of "being lost." This is a unique opportunity for an introspective and meditative drawing and listening experience.


Being lost can be a daunting experience, whether it's a literal physical disorientation or a metaphorical state of confusion. As individuals navigate the chaos and uncertainty of this journey, they are forced to utilize available resources and develop authentic strategies for survival. By becoming more familiar with the unfamiliar, individuals can discover new strengths and perspectives. The paradox of being lost lies in the fact that the very experience of disorientation and uncertainty can ultimately lead to a deeper understanding of oneself and one's surroundings, the concrete and the abstract.


Whether you are an artist or a curious beginner, everyone is welcome to join, create and connect. All drawing material will be provided, just come with an open and curious heart.

friend of the bar via yearly celebrated highlight of the le trou collective hosting at murmur, sèsè taking you on that all night long trip through the fav bits of his music library <3

we are glad to announce a new concert on thursday 31 of october at murmur: Jeremiah Chiu & Marta Sofia Honer, performing their beauteous blend of modular synthesizer and viola.


years of collaboration, cohabitation, shared experience, and a commitment to utilitarian cultural work bind their disparate timbres into a singular aesthetic reality. They first met while performing Terry Riley’s “In C” at Chicago’s Constellation, and since then have developed a sound that is both graceful and truthful. Now based in Los Angeles, their work has only deepened, with Honer becoming a first-call session player for artists like Beyoncé and Adrian Younge, while Chiu expands his electronic music practice and continues his influential visual work.


⊳ doors from 19:00, music before and after by meringue dj, tickets in bio.

Join us on November 30th for a unique life drawing performance by @braidingautonomy, accompanied by Mies at the decks. This special event invites you to artistically explore the theme of braiding memories. Through an interactive performance, dive into your own personal memories and let them inspire your creative journey.

Our monthly drawing club offers the perfect space to connect with others while immersing yourself in the relaxing and rewarding process of drawing and crafting. Step away from the screen, unwind, and enjoy an evening of creativity in a warm, inspiring atmosphere.

Neeltje aka @braidingautonomy is an autonomous visual artist with a practice that explores movement and embodiment. "In my practice I braid. It is a meditative, slow and refined practice. I do it with great attention to the rhythm and repetition. Sometimes it feels like a dance and it brings me into my body. Other times it brings out the words floating around in my head, and I braid with the words until they align. The process is one of intuitive making through simply doing. I follow what comes next, if only it is to continue braiding."

Neeltje will be accompanied by Mies, who share their art practices in their art collective 'mi_ne movement'. Mies will play a mix of ambient sounds and selected personal field recordings by Neeltje.

SEANCHOÍCHE is an opportunity to unpack. To come to terms with scars that accompany a personal experience, to gain some closure, to feel something deeper by laughing things out, crying things out, while talking things out. Among all those things, magic is born.


SEANCHOÍCHE is a safe space, it’s an event filled with empathy, catharsis, laughter, tears and joy. For some people, it’s their first time ever speaking in front of a crowd, which makes it even more meaningful and memorable for them. For others, it’s an opportunity to try out their creative juices, and see how a crowd reacts to their story, their comedy, their poetry, or their spoken word.

Beirut, since its inception, has been a regional and international hub for trade, knowledge, culture, and innovation. It is a symbol of freedom, resilience, and rebirth; a source of hope and inspiration—the city of light.

In the context of a year of genocide in Gaza, and horrific escalation into Lebanon, on December 14th, we are organizing a fundraiser in collaboration with Riwaq Beirut, Radio Alhara, Operator Radio, One State Collective and Echobox Radio to express our solidarity with the Lebanese people. “City of Light” will feature a full day program to learn from Lebanese history, resilience, and resistance, and an evening of music highlighting artists of the Lebanese diaspora w/ baby ganoush, ghenwa noire (live), kid fourteen (live), nessim & saar, sarkawt hamad, tania shoukair & noise diva & more.

Half of the funds will support Riwaq Beirut, a music and community space actively leading relief efforts by providing hot meals, medical supplies, and essential items to displaced individuals in Beirut. The remaining funds will be distributed among local NGOs focused on children’s education and psychological support, aid for migrant workers abandoned by employers, grassroots assistance for families in Gaza, and direct action initiatives in the Netherlands.

In the exercise of our solidarity, we must look to Lebanon, and to the Lebanese people, for guidance. We must acknowledge that we have a lot of learning to do.

Jameszoo’s creations are as playful as they are profound, making his presence in Murmur’s space a fitting choice for those seeking unconventional and exploratory musical experiences.

We hope to spark curiosity and inspire a fresh perspective on life, inviting everyone to embrace the beauty of being present and connected.”

Let’s come together, draw inspiration from a captivating live show, and immerse ourselves in an introspective space where sound guides our hands to create from an honest place, connecting us to our true selves. Through mindful prompts, you’ll discover how drawing can open new paths and bring you closer to your inner world.

Kelman Duran is a Dominican-American musician, visual artist, filmmaker, and scholar from Los Angeles.

As a DJ and producer, he is mostly affiliated with LA’s Rail Up crew, HUNDEBISS Records in Milan, and Riobamba’s Apocalipsis label, who put out his album 13th Month. The creation of the record was inspired by indigenous moon cycles that Duran learned about while living on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, where he shot a documentary titled To the North.

In 2021 he started together with Ans M the record label scorpio red.

On May 10th, in collaboration with Subbacultcha, we invite Dawuna for his Amsterdam debut. Dawuna’s sonic impressionisms will be accommodated by kantarion’s exquisite sound system and murmur’s atmospheric salon.

The moniker and middle name of Ugandan-American multi-disciplinary artist Ian Mugerwa, Dawuna appeared virtually out of nowhere with a fully formed vision on his debut album, ‘Glass Lit Dreams’. Self-released digitally in the middle of the pandemic and later reissued on vinyl through O__o? Records, the critically acclaimed ‘Glass Lit Dreams’ reflected its title in an intriguing and vaporous but sensual sound. Narcotic and haunted R&B, coming across like D’Angelo’s timeless ‘Voodoo’ or Prince’s more ethereal ballads filtered by the numb paranoia of Tricky’s ‘Nearly God’ or Dean Blunt’s haze while gravitating in its own sphere, ‘Glass Lit Dreams’ revealed a gifted songwriter with an acute attention to detail and sound itself. Following that stellar album with the limited edition ‘EP 1’, 2024 saw the release of ‘Southside Bottoms’ on PTP, a mixtape reflecting on the characters and times that occupied his life years ago in Southside Richmond, Virginia. Taking cues from gospel, R&B, minimalism and field recordings to paint an impressionistic and vivid portrait of those youthful days, ‘Southside Bottoms’ served as a perfect interim for Dawuna’s second album – Naya.

Further cementing Dawuna’s vision as very much his own, ‘Naya’ presents a bare bones but fully formed concept album about black liberation that draws on a lo-fi but enveloping approach to Funk, Soul, R&B and Hip-Hop that marks Dawuna’s indelible place among today’s visionaries, such as Tirzah, Klein or Moor Mother and serves as a calling card to the live explorations of the sonic possibilities opened up on record.

Her music combines South Korean and European traditions, exploring the unexplored territory between the two. The conversation will include the musical world of Craig Taborn: who is he, what characterises his music and what is his residency at the BIMHUIS like?

His previous music has spanned brooding devotional pop and club-ready synthetic heartmelters, while his current live iteration sees him slinging a guitar and delivering something like autotuned cybercountry.

About Kayan:

Kayan is a multidisciplinary collective founded by Tania and Willow; poets, writers, third culture individuals, immigrants, and kindred misfits. Flowing in a cycle of five chapters that thematically align with the seasons, Kayan creates ephemeral and interactive spaces every two to three months to explore the intricate terrain of identity, connection, and belonging.


Although difficult to translate, Kayan—an Arabic word and a nod to Tania’s heritage—can be understood as “entity” or “being”. It refers to the essence and existence of something; a recognized presence. Anyone who joins Kayan’s events or interacts with Kayan’s projects becomes part of Kayan, a living and unfolding collective being.

CO reshapes the current meaning of adornment by holding fundamental personal and cultural expressions – jewellery, wearable artefacts, digital self-enhancements, makeup art, skin and body modifications – up to the light of urgent world issues.

Appreciated for its experimental approach and unconventional style, CO reimagines how adornment is showcased and experienced, forging meaningful connections across art, design, and culture through collaborations with visionary creatives and institutions.

The text explores how Indigenous American cultures experienced the world as suffused with light — linking sky, sea, earth and atmosphere into a spiritual and moral continuum, energised by cosmic force. In their activation, Casas and Castagnet — Argentinian artists based in Amsterdam — work with sound, light and improvisation to evoke this multidimensional brilliance. Using voice, field recordings and experimental sampling, they summon the shimmer of divine presence. Their layered dialogues ripple and refract, echoing light as resonance, and brilliance as unfolding reflection.

From 20 onwards, French Athens-based music oracle OKO DJ teams up with partner and psychedelia mastermind producer Eiger Drums Propaganda for some off-kilter selection.

Her latest work titled “Her home is a village, her home is a crossroads”, is a collection of oil paintings on paper and photographs. The work explores the relationship of plants with memories and collective histories of the built environment. Her autobiographical images depict painted and written memories, merging personal with collective narratives and offering an intuitive insight on everyday life in Greece. The antithesis between her rural roots and the densely urbanized environment she grew up in, reveal internal and shared contradictions that coexist, as well as the unbroken ties with the “village” and the countryside which are inherent in her culture.

The global processes that have followed the greek financial crisis, are transforming home into something unfamiliar. How do we hold on to our collective memory? Could plants protect our memories and help us in this journey? Athenian balconies, island shores, her grandmother’s garden, are all spaces where plants become symbolic vessels that archive the unfolding struggles between past and present.

We come together for a celebration of caribbean unity & freedom. We will ask for a small contribution at the door of 7,50 to support the program.

This event is being organised in response to the erasure, revisionism and neglect that the victims of Srebrenica and of the broader wars in Bosnia Herzegovina, Albania and Kosovo face in the West - especially in the Netherlands.

The Netherlands, which was directly complicit in the genocide in Srebrenica, has since 1995 controlled the national discourse on the turn of events. In July 1995, over 8373 (counted) muslim men and boys were murdered by Serb forces in the span of a few days, under the eye of the Dutch Battalion. In total, the war in BiH cost about 100,000 lives between 1992 and 1995, as well at approx. 13,000 lives in Albania and Kosovo between 1998 and 1999.

We stand in solidarity with all displaced peoples and firmly against all practices of ethnonationalism and necropolitics, we will therefore be distributing funds between Balkan and non-Balkan initiatives.

This program is organised and curated by RAFI (Raising Awareness and Funds Initiative), an Amsterdam founded initiative that aims to raise awareness and funds in support of and in solidarity with dire global and political currents.

RAUNG reimagines Nusantara’s cultural heritage through multisensory diasporic transmissions—summoning sonic mysticism and intersecting ancestral memory with electronic continuisms. An evening offering personal, alternative perspectives on Nusantara identity, channeling the mythic past into a forward-sensing, contemporary form.

After seven years of friendship through music, memes and dialectical materialism, Mo and Toine share the booth for the first time. They wil showcase their love for 00s R&B, broken beat and hiphop.

In the Presence of Absence draws on Mahmoud Darwish’s notion that absence is the other side of presence, exploring how absence takes physical form in Syria’s public and private spaces. Through her ongoing series, Yara Said uses the motif of the empty plastic chair—ubiquitous in Syrian life—as a symbol of sociability disrupted, turned spectral by war and displacement. Rendered with repetitive ink strokes, the chairs become quiet monuments of grief and memory, capturing the violence that erased their occupants. Alongside them, Said’s portraits offer a defiant stillness, bearing witness to survival and insisting on remembrance in a world quick to forget.

A third of the proceeds from her sales in this exhibition will go toward the reconstruction of Sweida National Hospital, which has been rendered inoperable since mid-July 2025. Following violent clashes in southern Syria, the hospital—Sweida’s primary medical facility—has been left without electricity, clean water, fuel, or adequate medical supplies. The refrigeration systems have failed, staff have been forced to evacuate, and treatment for even the most basic emergencies is no longer possible. In a region already fatigued by over a decade of war, this collapse marks a humanitarian emergency.

Yara Said is a multidisciplinary artist and researcher based in the Netherlands. Her practice moves across painting, sound, installation, and text, guided by long-form research and intuitive composition. Working with shifting materials and grounded in feminist thought, she draws on philosophies that value situated knowledge, ephemerality, and the unseen. Her work is shaped by an aesthetic relationship to disappearance, fragility, and impermanence. Her visual worlds emerge through calculated colors, and atmospheres charged with quiet intensity. Writing is central to her process. Each project gathers visual, sonic, and philosophical material into constellations that resist simple narratives and open up spaces for reflection and refusal. Her work has been presented in exhibitions, public spaces, and digital platforms across Europe and the Middle East.

You can visit Yara's exhibition on every day that murmur is open, throughout the months of august and september <3

The weekend of 5 & 6 we’re welcoming Amanny Ahmad, from Ramallah - Palestine, cooking a menu of dishes inspired by her family, friends and the people of the land of Palestine: the fellahin or “peasants”. Amanny brought ingredients produced in the illegally occupied West Bank, by the wise hands of the true owners of the land, with her to share.

Amanny Ahmad is a Palestinian artist, cook, land worker, writer, and folk herbalist based in the illegally occupied West Bank. In her research-based practice, she studies things small & large: whole systems design, food as language, land as life, historical & contemporary relationships between humans & non-humans, botany, mycology, indigenous culinary traditions & plant use; and how those things can teach us about preservation, survival, and world-making. Her research culminates in a variety of forms: writing, photographs, objects, garden design, fermentation, herbal preparations, and dinners. She is also the founder of the Palestinian Plant Archive.

For this weekend, we’ll serve a set menu for €50, pre bookable here here.. Expect a family style selection of dishes using ingredients from palestine and seasonal vegetables < 3

Every day, assaults on this land & the human & non-human life it holds, threaten what remains of the delicate ecosystems & symbiotic relationships created over generations. Relationships that the occupation has spent decades trying to erase, steal, or replace. As more land is seized & emptied of life, as people are stopped from reaching their crops, as trees are bulldozed, all in the name of settler colonialism, the occupation continues to obsess over erasing us completely, as we once were have been or will be.

Recently the entity voted to annex the West Bank, which I still haven't grasped the meaning of. i dont know what our future holds, just that it wont be good if things dont change globally, drastically & quickly.

Fellahin who continue to work the land while knowing that their labor could be destroyed or siezed at any moment, or that the settlements & their violent inhabitants continue to encroach, or that they will barely make a living from their hard work, are practicing true land-based resistance. I dont see cooking itself as resistance, but it can help in honoring, understanding, and supporting those who are on the frontlines of protecting the land.

𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃

Please Note: This event is not specifically a fundraiser, beyond supporting the work of a Palestinian living in the illegally occupied West Bank. There is always the option to directly support ongoing mutual aid work to help the tens of thousands of people displaced from refugee camps in the North of the West Bank, 100% of these donations will go towards these projects, you can choose any amount that you wish to contribute. Please message me if you’d like to donate.

Above all: Please continue to support our people in Gaza through not only financial support, but organized direct action, boycotting, and maintaining a principled and evolving engagement with our decades long struggle and model of revolutionary resistance. For donations in general, I suggest focusing on grassroots mutual aid groups as well as direct verified individual campaigns for people in Gaza and the West Bank, rather than large NGOs. Always remember: donations are not a substitute for direct action.

Long live the resistance

Muzan Editions, the cult ambient cassette label from Osaka, teams up with Selene Series for a special Saturday evening-into-night ritual at murmur, offering a deep listening experience with live performances and DJs.

It is no secret that the Selene Series podcasts and events are heavily inspired by Japanese music, and the concepts that shape their beloved ambient: minimalism, harmony, and a good dose of nature love. Muzan Editions from Osaka have quietly become a key part of that musical output, and arriving at murmur together to bring that ‘kissa’ vibe feels like a match made in heaven.

From a soundtracked dinner time curated by Dérive from Muzan to the live performances by DOC and Gizem Öz, the theme of the evening will be soothing atmospheric textures, drenched in reverb melodies and horizontal music. The dancefloor landing will be piloted by maestro Vand, expect downtempo and the deeper sides of house.

the night's artists all find each other in this realm of deep listening:

dérive is an electronic artist, curator and co-founder of muzan editions, known for weaving rich textures with subtle rhythmic layers and focusing on the lushest and most meditative forms of ambient music around. he will bring soothing ambient sounds to us.

Formed by three friends in Nara and Osaka, the label has since made a name for itself by showcasing immensely talented Japanese musicians such as H Takahashi, Chie Otomi, and Cheekbone. Stemming from the Japanese word Muzan, which is written "夢山" and translates to "dream mountain", the ethos of the label is that of unyielding tranquility, an embrace of the impalpable, the worlds within worlds. the label provides a platform for artists creating immersive listening experiences. through their carefully curated releases, the label connects these expressions with a global audience.

gizem öz is a multifaceted artist based in Amsterdam, known for her work as an electronic music composer, DJ, and producer. Her artistic path is shaped by a deep curiosity for sound and perception—whether she’s creating music for deep listening, live shows, art installations, or dance floors. she will perform live for us.

She has performed across various countries in Europe, with appearances at festivals and venues such as Waking Life, Waha Festival, DGTL, Amsterdam Dance Event, Club der Visionäre, Zenner Berlin, Garage Noord, A’DAM The Loft and alongside Giegling. Gizem Öz’s work lives in the space between club and gallery, ritual and technology, emotion and abstraction.

Vand has made a reputation for himself as a producer who is equally prolific working alongside like-minded piers like Bas Dobbelaer, Alfred Czital, and Shoal, as well as working solo where he conjures deep, dubby adventures that twist and turn like Escher sketches, always one step ahead of the dancefloor drone.

Releases on labels like Something Happening Somewhere, Nyame, Alpenglühen, Harmony Rec, and Konstrukt speak for themselves. Vand just launched ISOTOOP, a sonic beacon birthed from the ashes of a great event collective (initially founded by Van Anh and featuring Ben Buitendijk, Shoal, and Koen Hoets).

doc will present his live set for the first time. doc moves fluidly through sound creating a space where time seems to bend and the music unfolds. he landed, some years ago, in a musical planet inhabited by all things psychedelic. DOC has a genre agnostic approach to his music selection. If it is mind-bending, ritualistic and hypnotic, it fits.

His monthly podcast, now turned event series, Selene Series, has gone from a monthly showcase of deep and psychedelic music to a meeting point of like-minded artists. From collaborations by other musicians in ‘The Continuum’ mix series, to shows in partnership with Operator Radio, Delayed, HOC Radio or Sub Radio and even live events at Laut Barcelona or Bar Theo in Amsterdam, Selene Series is now a gathering for psychedelic electronic sounds.

Tabili and Lunar Node join forces to celebrate heritage and culture through food and music. It’s well known to all of us that these vehicles—food and music—carry stories, culture, and heritage. Each of us has our own way of relating to them because of this. On this evening, we would like to tell you our own stories through food and sound.

Lunar Node has crafted a three-course menu reflecting both their West-African and Caribbean lineages. Expect dishes that are traditional, some hybrids, and others created anew, with flavors born in hall parties, cramped kitchens, sea crossings, and suitcases.

Music flows alongside the meal, with sounds of the diaspora carried through live performance and DJ sets by 1.06 library, pantonepapi & Diana Dzhabbar in the same spirit of movement, gathering, and celebration.

1.06 library is a curated archive of music media, think vinyl, cassette tapes, CDs, and other formats, assembled by the creative collective 'DRKNGHTS'. It has listening stations and sound systems where visitors can explore artists, get inspired, and spark new ideas through sound.

pantonepapi is a dj and producer known for his high-energy blend of afro-electronic sounds. with roots in ghana and a home base in the netherlands, his music draws from hiplife, gospel, funky house, and uk bass, always grounded in rhythm-first storytelling. his sets and productions fuse west african textures with club-forward sounds, think funky dub, afro-tech, and percussive edits with a raw edge.

Diana Dzhabbar (live) - a saxophonist known for blending rich, expressive horn lines with an array of effects, transforming the instrument into a sonic chameleon. Her innovative approach creates immersive soundscapes that span from ambient textures to gritty, electronic-infused sounds.

In short, this gathering invites you to simply eat, listen, and celebrate how we, as the West-African diaspora, continue to nourish, adapt, and resonate across time and space. Be welcome!

Seats for the dinner are limited and require reservation through the 🔗murmur website. Doors remain open for all who wish to join for drinks and music.

After their murmur debut in June, we are happy to welcome Kayan Collective back into our space. This time, with the elaborate theme of Rapture: The moment of pure embodiment, where elation meets grief.

On the evening of September 14th, Kayan will transform murmur into a crucible of artistic expression, cultures, and experiences, all coming together to try and answer the following questions: What enables our transcendence into a new identity? And who will be there to catch us as we release ourselves to fly?

This is the fourth chapter in a series of five, designed to explore the universal theme of “identity transformation” and how individual identity interacts with collective identity. Every Kayan event is unique and irreplicable, co-created by the artists, the attendees, and the dance of mutual attention, presence, and participation. Kayan’s program includes moments of pausing, reckoning, and invitations to process emotions, thoughts, and impressions within the existing container.

Take what you need, be open to leaving your old skin behind.

Program:
- 🔗 Dizzy Geetha : Live multi-instrumentalist set
- 🔗 Galalalive: “Supper After Rememberence” - Silent movie screening + live music
- 🔗 Alyson Sillon: Personal history of techno + music
- 🔗 Willow Sommer: Poetic storytelling

Food by:
- 🔗 El Sufra (starting 6pm)

Doors open: 5.30 pm
Program starts: 7.30 pm
Event end time: 10.30 - 11.00 pm

About Kayan:
Kayan is a multidisciplinary collective founded by Tania and Willow: writers, third-culture individuals, immigrants, and kindred misfits. Kayan creates ephemeral and interactive spaces every two to three months to explore the intricate terrain of identity, flowing in a cycle of five chapters that align with the seasons. Although difficult to translate, Kayan—an Arabic word and a nod to Tania’s heritage—can be understood as “entity” or “being”. It refers to the essence and existence of something; a recognized presence. Anyone who joins Kayan’s events or interacts with Kayan’s projects becomes part of Kayan, a living and unfolding collective being.

Join us for our album release party celebrating the best of Palestinian Bedouin psychedelic music and dance culture. Brought to you by Majazz Project and the Palestinian Sound Archive, joined an incredible guest, the Netherlands' very own DJ Klapsalon.

This party is focused on platforming Bedouin dance and sonic culture as an act of resistance and a chance to showcase our rich heritage... offering a window into how we have gathered and celebrated through the ages. The album features rare1970s field recordings made by Atef Swaitat (yarghul) and Abu Ali (lead vocals), popular Bedouin wedding musicians in Jenin and the north of Palestine.

There will also be a film screening of raw archival footage, featuring Palestinian Sound Archive founder Mo'min Swaitat and Haarlem based artist and filmmaker Mustafa Staiti.

a syrian lebanese menu will be served this weekend by kinan mansour and tania shoukair, blurring the line between comfort and street food - we invite you to book in for dinner via our website and stay afterwards to enjoy this dear evening.

About the PSA:

The Palestinian Sound Archive is determined to preserve Palestinian audio history through different mediums : by re-releasing music/sound recordings (in physical and digital formats), through club nights and radio sets, through audio-visual installations, live performances and storytelling sessions which situate the music in their cultural, social and political contexts. Working with the archive for the past five years, it has become clear that it is not only these sounds that need to be safeguarded, but the extraordinary histories and experiences of the musicians who made them, which form part of the broader Palestinian story. We have (so far) uncovered hundreds of stories of Palestinian artists, which we share through live performances focused on different musicians, and the wider music industry, including tales of how they made and distributed their work in the face of displacement, censorship, exile, persecution, arrests, the First and Second Intifadas and other major events.

The Palestinian Sound Archive was founded by Mo’min Swaitat in 2020 but is comprised of and supported by freelance visual and sound artists, musicians, DJs, curators, organisers and researchers, without whom the work would not be possible.

Since the dawn of history, Arab parents everywhere have been plagued by this one crucial question: What’s a quick and healthy meal that won’t make their children hate them? Historians haven’t been able to pin point the exact moment arayes answered their prayers, but since then, Arab parents and children everywhere have been grateful for this protein and flavor packed alternative to mujadara(iykyk).

Almost a year after their first murmur pop up, besties Kinan and Tania will be making a comeback, re-inviting us into their childhood kitchens, and whipping up some of their favorite meals. Only this time, they will be blurring the line between home cooked and street food, delivering healthy and nutrient dense meals like the earlier mentioned arayes, with uncompromising vegan options like smashed falafel.

Their shared cooking ethos is to introduce their audience to complex regional flavors without the unnecessarily extensive spice list that’s become synonymous with “Middle Eastern” cooking. In fact, they refuse to be associated with the vague term altogether, and instead call their collaboration Syrian-Lebanese. When Kinan and Tania cook, they decenter Western tastebuds and expectations, and instead focus on recreating an experience of home for the homesick, echoing that every interaction with their kitchen is an invitation and a privilege.

Abu Samer is a music enthusiast drawn to the world of exploring hidden music from club dance floors and the digging culture that surrounds it.

For many years, he focused on playing club sets, and two years ago he had the chance to share a different side of his record collection at an extended party in Amsterdam. That experience revealed to him the surprising appetite people can have for certain sounds in the right setting. While his club sound is more defined, he enjoys the absolute freedom of playing downtempo music, the chance to follow instinct rather than chase a groove. For Abu Samer, a downtempo set feels like inviting people into his home for a listening session.

She previously held a 5 year residence at Rinse FM London with ‘Rage Radio’. She’s also released a number of collaborations and remixes, notably with Billy Woods, Armand Hammer ft. Pink Siifu, Ghias Guevara, Debby Friday, and Fever Ray.

Their signature approach features projections on a thin screen in front of them, performing behind the screen where they are almost invisible.

super sonic jazz festival kicks off with a secret early start in our space.

Sitkamer – “What It’s Like to Be a Bat”

as a preview of Super-Sonic Jazz Festival, Finn Streuper presents his debut album What It’s Like to Be a Bat in a combined listening and viewing session. The evening features a full playback of the album, accompanied by oscilloscope-generated visuals that create an immersive atmosphere where synths, harp, saxophone, and digital textures come together in a delicate, weightless soundscape. Jameszoo will also play a DJ set.

The album takes its title and concept from the philosophical essay on consciousness by Thomas Nagel, exploring the idea that there are aspects of experience — what it is like to be something — that can never be fully understood from the outside. Rather than following a linear narrative, Streuper’s compositions unfold as environments to inhabit, where acoustic instruments and digital sounds blend into a surreal and contemplative world inspired by spiritual jazz, warm library tones, and experimental electronics.

What It’s Like to Be a Bat is released through Syrup Music and was made possible by Super-Sonic Jazz and members of the Super-Sonic Jazz Movement.

super sonic jazz festival:

the festival highlights innovative artists who move within the broad universe of jazz. Since its first edition in 2017, it has grown into a leading platform for musicians working at the intersection of jazz, R&B, soul, hip-hop, and more.

Beyond the annual festival, Super-Sonic Jazz organizes a range of events throughout the year: from intimate concerts in collaboration with Paradiso to the monthly Super-Sonic Jams at Skatecafe. The organization also releases music through its independent label, Super-Sonic. Fans can join the Super-Sonic Movement; by doing so, they directly support local talent and help the next generation of artists develop.

This menu is stitched together from memories of my family’s kitchen: my uncle and grandfather completely in their element in the kitchen, school tiffins shared with friends, my mother’s endless pots of sambar and dal. For two nights, I’m cooking South Indian homestyle food as I would for the people I love; warm, generous plates meant to be shared and to feel like home, even far from it.

Inspired by a year spent loving, caring, and nurturing life between Sicily and Bengal. Tracing some recipes, diasporas, and histories.

for this evening aubaade and niyimi will take over the decks, each inviting you into their own world of sound.

Aubaade - Kiēn Denier is a Vietnamese–French artist. Their work traces architectures of support and collapse, where objects and bodies hover between intention and contingency, held in states of partial coherence. Across moving image and sound, and through their alias Aubaade, they compose unfolding environments where perceptual thresholds become central. Their sets function as liminal spaces, guiding listeners on an inward journey from hell to heaven and back.

Expect doom jazz, synth ambient, field recordings, mumbling melodies, ballads, noise, and industrial textures.

niyimi - Naomi Hettiarachchige Hubèrt is an Amsterdam-based artist and graphic designer. Her practice questions how hegemonic Western belief systems permeate the everyday, from intimacy and memory to the collective subconscious. Activated through fabulative storytelling, her work spans text, moving– and graphic image, performance and sound. Extending into niyimi, her sets function as portals into textured, dreamlike mindscapes. Drawing from ambient, experimental, and deconstructed club sound, alongside field recordings, low-fidelity internet rips, and vocal fragments, listening becomes a mode of travel.

𓇌 kitchen take-over by Tomás Syder Queiroz 𓇌

Tomás Syder Queiroz (b. 1999) is a Portuguese multimedia artist and cook whose research approaches food as personal ethnographic material. Through recipes, films, objects, and sound, they explore the space between speculative proposals and documentary practices.

After completing a bachelor’s degree in Communication Design at Lisbon’s University of Fine Arts in 2020, they undertook a course in Food Anthropology at Lisbon’s School of Social Sciences and Humanities. There, they began to understand food as a conduit for identity, culture, and history. More recently, they graduated from a two-year Design master’s programme at the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam, where they researched the intersections of design, sound, and food. Beyond a field of inquiry, food remains an essential part of their life, manifesting across projects both professional and personal.

They continue to develop their taste and knowledge by shaping recipes and ideas that reflect their own culinary perspective. Central to their interest is the body as a gathering point: an artifact that records and senses the subtle, unconsciously choreographed gestures of everyday life. Within this framework, the kitchen becomes a site of research, engaging directly with the emotional registers that inform their practice.

For this weekend special at Murmur, Tomás pays tribute to the women who taught them how to love and respect food. Inspired by their mother’s favourite dishes, they revisit long-established Portuguese recipes, sharing a personal slice of their history through a menu that reflects the rich and layered culinary world they grew up with.

𓇌 food pop-up by the migrant kitchen 𓇌

The Migrant Kitchen is a research-based project aimed to study and celebrate the food and ingredients used in the diaspora, as well as their various interconnections. This project, while connecting different cultures, takes special focus on African cuisine, particularly in Lusophone countries (Angola, Cabo Verde, Moçambique, Guiné-Bissau and São Tomé e Príncipe) as a base for understanding the historical connection with the wider world.

Rita was born in Lisbon, and her experience and practices were profoundly shaped by life on the suburban side of the capital. She is the face behind the Migrant Kitchen and the founder of Atelier. Through these projects, she seeks to create communities and bonds with those around her.

During the pop-up at Murmur, Migrant Kitchen will seek to reconnect with its roots by reproducing the flavors from West Africa, but also by rethinking the ingredients that are so common in this gastronomic tradition.
