Dear people of KRA
The people of the PAF residency advised me to contact you with my following question.
My name is Marieke Van Ransbeeck, I’m from Belgium and I play the Belgian bagpipes.
At the moment I’m creating a new production for Dranouter Music Centre. This is a production for bagpipes and electronics. It’s still in the development stage, but the aim is to do a first show on November ’24.
For the development of this music I would love to be a resident at KRA the 30th of April until the 12th of May. I wonder if there’s still a space left for me during that period?
I would need a piano and also electricity (preferably also a monitor if that’s present) for the creation process.
Wishing you a lovely day! And lots of hugs from Belgium!
Marieke
