swellS & Make It Fit

swellS
swellS is a new audiovisual collaboration between band Spill Gold (Rosa Ronsdorf and Nina de Jong) and Studio Noralie (Noortje van den Eijnde), that will premiere at Nest in Laak during this edition of AM.PM.AM. Blurring the lines between sculpture, textiles, and performance, the piece recalls the ripple effect – a metaphor for ecological entanglement and the interconnectedness of all living beings. swellS will take shape as both a 50-minute live show on Friday evening and a standalone installation that is on view only during this weekend at Nest.

Make It Fit
Make It Fit—A Life Script will take place on Sunday evening and is a one-hour multidisciplinary performance by Tingyi Jiang that explores how language constructs authority, identity, and social norms by anatomizing the internalized societal script of ‘Make It Fit’. Set within a constructed situation, it blends public address, personal narrative, sonic composition, and improvised interaction, where language becomes a live negotiation between self, structure, and collective imagination. The project transforms “fitting” into a performative strategy, challenging conformity while proposing a sustainable, adaptive model for critical artistic practice.

Make It Fit — A Life Script emerged from an urgent need to process and respond to the forces of authoritative language that has shaped Tingyi Jiang's experience both personally and socially. Growing up in China, she was immersed in a cultural environment shaped by the maxim "make it fit." This phrase, rooted in Confucian values and extending to political ideologies, parental expectations and social norms. The idea of “fitting” wasn’t merely a set of abstract rules, but a deeply internalized choreography that governed my behavior, voice and identity.

In the context of an ever-evolving social and political landscape, Jiang's artistic practice is in constant negotiation with the world around it. The increasing demands for conformity in both personal and public life, amplified by digital media, economic pressures, and political shifts—demand not only new modes of expression, but new ways of inhabiting the role of the artist in public life.

Spill Gold
Studio Noralie

Studio Noralie is the artistic practice of Noortje van den Eijnde, creating sensory installations and rituals that invite introspection and surrender. With a background in video design for major live performances, Studio Noralie now focuses on immersive experiences inspired by bathing and the act of letting go.

Spill Gold

Spill Gold is the Amsterdam-based duo of Rosa Ronsdorf and Nina de Jong. Past releases include an EP on Beacon Sound Records (US, 2017), and the albums Highway Hypnosis on Knekelhuis Records (NL, 2020) and ZaZa on Teenage Menopause Records (FR, 2024). The band has toured across Canada, the US, Europe, and the UK, performing at Grauzone, Roadburn, Blue Dot Festival, Le Guess Who, and Eurosonic, with airplay on BBC 6.

Aldo Brinkhoff

Studio Aldo Brinkhoff is an experimental design studio operating at the intersection of visual art and design. Driven by a fascination with chaos and order, geometric abstraction, and unconventional material techniques, the studio creates interactive installations and sculptures for museums, public spaces, and festivals.

Each project begins with extensive form studies and handcrafted miniatures. The focus lies on researching, transforming, and reusing existing materials. Through unexpected combinations of materials in new contexts and spatial compositions, the studio reshapes the reality of human perception.

Tingyi Jiang

Tingyi Jiang is an artist and performer based in The Hague. She uses performance as a tool to engage with the world through her practice, which she calls situation-specific performance. By claiming the ‘situation’ as a stage, appropriating ‘rules’ as scores, and using ‘action’ as material, she transforms implicit social norms into performative acts—blending reality and fiction to explore themes of identity, memory, language, and authority.At the heart of her work is the concept of ‘fitting’—both as a creative method and a critical lens. This inquiry led to her ongoing series Make It Fit (initiated in 2021), which examines how both individuals and structures of authority navigate to systems through the condition of ‘fit.’ The series spans a range of formats, including theater, interventions, publications, participatory events, performative texts and sound-based works.

Tutto Questo Sentire

Tutto Questo Sentire (TQS) is a creative collective that explores the connection between different art forms. Since 2014, it has brought together artists from music, visual art, and performance, with a focus on sound and how it relates to video, time, environment, and live performance.

At the heart of their work lies the question: What remains after a creative experience or performance ends? TQS explores this by creating moments in which both space and audience become active participants in the artistic process. From the industrial spaces of Het HEM to the classical setting of Rome’s botanical gardens, from concert halls to experimental club venues, TQS treats every location as a laboratory to push the boundaries between sound, space, and the human experience.

Collaboration is a core principle of the collective: TQS works through long-term relationships and friendships with artists, musicians, and other makers and thinkers. Each collaboration prioritizes experimentation, resulting in a wide variety of presentations—from operas and light-and-sound installations to films and exhibitions.

Charlie Hope

Charlie is a London born visual artist using light, motion, space, video, and coding to build sensorial images and environments across sound, performance and installation. His practice allows for connections between different scenarios to form complex and interconnected ecosystems while also creating custom sculptural lighting fixtures and electronics that feed into this.

GAISTER (Live)

GAISTER is a new encounter between soprano vocalist Olivia Salvadori (Tutto Questo Sentire), drummer Akihide Monna (Bo Ningen) and songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Coby Sey.

Elena Colombi

Elena Colombi operates in the cracks between styles, where rhythm mutates and atmosphere turns volatile. A set might swirl in the drift of cosmic psychedelia, slice through jungle’s serrated syncopations, and erupt in the stark glare of post-punk, spoken word, or even a forgotten ballad. The through-line is rupture—those sudden breaks and impossible turns that jolt the room into new focus. All emotions are welcome, as long as they are real and strong.

A long-time NTS resident and even longer-time clubber, Colombi has honed a language shaped as much by cinema, theory, and aesthetics as by dancefloor urgency. Their mixes work less like linear sequences than dérives—free drifts across hidden histories and half-imagined futures, threaded with avant-garde intuition. In the club, this approach sharpens into intensity: polyrhythms collide, industrial mechanics buckle, and techno splinters into unrecognizable forms. The style is restless rather than seamless—alive, febrile, spring-loaded. Dancers are kept in suspension, locked into a state of vigilance that turns itself addictive.

That same impulse feeds into their production work and live performances, often in collaboration with the Tutto Questo Sentire collective, and into Osàre! Editions, the label they founded in 2019 and continue to grow. True to its name—Italian for “boldness”—the imprint traces unexpected lines between unearthed 1990s darkwave and forward-tilted mutations of the contemporary underground. Rumors swirl of a new venue in the works—what will the next venture be?

Olivia Salvadori

Olivia Salvadori is an experimental soprano, performer, and recording artist. Her practice investigates the nature of the voice as an instrument for self-observation. In 2014, she co-founded the art collective Tutto Questo Sentire together with composer and producer Sandro Mussida and video and sound artist Rebecca Salvadori. TQS investigates the encounter between different artistic disciplines from contemporary music to visual and performative international scenes.

Akihide Monna

Akihide Monna a.k.a. Monchan is a drummer of the London/Europe-based Japanese alternative rock band Bo Ningen, a composer, and an artist whose main focus is Indian ink-painting and calligraphy.

Rebecca Salvadori

Rebecca Salvadori is a London-based artist working at the intersection between video art and documentary. She has a long experience in filming environments with a focus on non-hierarchical /chronological layering and sequencing of audio to footage. Her film works act as constellations of highly personal and wilfully elusive heterogeneous elements: multifaceted portraits of moments, people, and environments that can be approached from different angles as they move between personal and transpersonal scales. Over the last 15 years, she has consistently engaged with experimental music, with a great interest in finding ways to connect the moving image with sound practices, live performances and alternative forms of storytelling.

Coby Sey

Coby Sey is an artist, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter from Lewisham, London. Coby has developed a truly singular voice as both a producer and performer, weaving together threads from jazz fusion, hip-hop, post-punk and dub music to create something wholly new.

Though his output almost seems collaborative by nature - frequently seen working alongside acclaimed artists in music Tirzah, Mica Levi, Kwes - visual artist Hannah Perry and movement artist Maëva Berthelot, Coby’s debut solo album "Conduit" on AD 93 provides a perfect example of his distinct vision.

Coby’s open-door approach to sharing and making music stretches to his work with London Contemporary Orchestra — with London collective CURL founded with Mica Levi and Brother May — with Tuscany collective TQS — and a regular slot on NTS Radio, which offers a portal into his appealingly murky musical world.

Mark Prendergast

Mark Prendergast is an artist and filmmaker with a highly experimental approach to the moving image. His films mesh Structural film strategies with the elastic potential of contemporary digital imaging technologies, pointing to their own construction in order to talk about the way the moving image mediates and functions in contemporary society. His films are also very associative, drawing out connection and narrative from disparate recorded moments. Besides collaborating with international artists such as Mark Lecky, Prendergast also works with fashion designer Duran Lantink.

Eomac

Eomac is a project from Irish composer and producer Ian McDonnell releasing genre-spanning electronic music via Planet Mu, The Trilogy Tapes, Bedouin Records, Killekill, Phantom Limb, Emika Records and more.

The Eomac sound draws from obscure samples and raw sound design in an ongoing exploration of intense, visceral music for body and soul. He has taken this sound across the globe in numerous live and DJ sets at festivals such as Unsound, Lunchmeat, MIRA and clubs like Berghain, Tresor and Circus Tokyo.

An active collaborator he has worked with a long list of musicians including: LAIR, Saint Abdullah, Arad, Paula Temple, Kyoka, MC Yallah, Demian Licht, Sean Carpio, Kamikaze Space Programme, Roger Doyle and many more.

Saint Abdullah

Formed by two brothers, Mohammad and Mehdi Mehrabani-Yeganeh, raised primarily in the West, away from their family in Iran, Saint Abdullah is designed somewhat as an introduction to a different palette of sounds, creating a charged and anxious, but still assertive mixture of minimalist dub and Iranian samples. The two are particularly drawn to the sounds associated with Shia Islam, predominant in Iran but usually a minority in the Muslim world.

Sanne Huijsmans

Sanne Huijsmans is an Amsterdam-based cultural manager, producer and strategist with over 15 years of experience in the intersection of music, art, and technology. As an independent cultural entrepreneur since 2019, she specializes in funding strategies and artistic development for experimental and multidisciplinary projects, successfully securing grants from major Dutch cultural funds including Stimuleringsfonds, Mondriaan Fonds, and Fonds Podiumkunsten.

UN'OPERA (Live)
Sandro Mussida

Balancing on the fine line between rigorous experimentation, innovation, and tradition, the work of Sandro Mussida fosters an active listening approach, exploring the relationship between sound, space, and context. Moving across acoustic/classical, electric, and electronic fields, he composes for orchestra, ensembles, soloists, and electronics.

His compositions challenge the standardization of the Western ear (e.g., Musica Per Tre Sistemi Di Accordatura: EEEOOOSSS, Soave, 2019; Rueben, Die Schachtel, 2021), investigate space as an active participant in the musical experience (Still~, Room40, 2024), or explore traditional musical forms (Dare Voce, Sony Classical, 2017; What Remains, from Spazio Per Azioni Luminescenti, Osàre Editions, 2023).

Tutto Questo Sentire

Tutto Questo Sentire (TQS) exists as a system of experiences that articulates itself in a generative way through residencies, events, films, and publications. Since its inception in 2014, the collective has dedicated itself to investigating the encounter between different artistic disciplines from the contemporary music, visual, and performative international scenes, with a particular focus on the nature of sound and its relationship with video, time perception, environmental awareness, and live performance practices.

A Forbidden Distance w/ Saint Abdullah + Eomac + Rebecca Salvadori (live)

A Forbidden Distance is a collaborative audio-visual work that explores the profound relationship between self-identity and displacement. This unique performance piece brings together Iranian-Canadian brothers Mohammad and Mehdi (Saint Abdullah), Irish sound designer and musician Ian McDonnell (Eomac), and London-based Italo-Australian video artist and filmmaker Rebecca Salvadori in their first artistic collaboration, embodying the very transcendence of borders their work examines. A Forbidden Distance poses biographical questions on the meaning of an individual’s life when faced with the need to move, forced into the nomadic currents of our times.

The audio-visual project itself is an example of collaboration that transcends borders and nationalities—brothers Mohammed and Mehdi Mehrabani-Yeganeh (Saint Abdullah) are Iranian-Canadian, Ian McDonnel (Eomac) as Irish, and London-based filmmaker Rebecca Salvatori is Italian-Australian—all working together for the first time.

Rebecca Salvadori is a London-based artist working at the intersection between video art and documentary. She has a long experience in filming environments with a focus on non-hierarchical /chronological layering and sequencing of audio to footage. Her film works act as constellations of highly personal and wilfully elusive heterogeneous elements: multifaceted portraits of moments, people, and environments that can be approached from different angles as they move between personal and transpersonal scales.

Balancing on the fine line between rigorous experimentation, innovation, and tradition, the work of Sandro Mussida fosters an active listening approach, exploring the relationship between sound, space, and context. Moving across acoustic/classical, electric, and electronic fields, he composes for orchestra, ensembles, soloists, and electronics.

His compositions challenge the standardization of the Western ear (e.g., Musica Per Tre Sistemi Di Accordatura: EEEOOOSSS, Soave, 2019; Rueben, Die Schachtel, 2021), investigate space as an active participant in the musical experience (Still~, Room40, 2024), or explore traditional musical forms (Dare Voce, Sony Classical, 2017; What Remains, from Spazio Per Azioni Luminescenti, Osàre Editions, 2023).

Tutto Questo Sentire (TQS) exists as a system of experiences that articulates itself in a generative way through residencies, events, films, and publications. Since its inception in 2014, the collective has dedicated itself to investigating the encounter between different artistic disciplines from the contemporary music, visual, and performative international scenes, with a particular focus on the nature of sound and its relationship with video, time perception, environmental awareness, and live performance practices.
