FAQ Festival of Electronic Music is part of November Music for the third time in a row. From 2 to 4 November, FAQ will again showcase a broad palette of electronic sounds with this year's focus on the adventurous Japanese music scene. November Music 2023 will take place from 1 to 12 November at various locations in 's-Hertogenbosch.
Since its inception in 2010, FAQ Festival has been pushing the boundaries of electronic music with sound art, electro-acoustic performances, DJ sets and performances. Since 2021, FAQ Festival and November Music have joined forces.
The 2023 edition of FAQ features concerts and performances by Nik Void & Klara Lewis, Mark Fell & Rian Treanor and Pak Yan Lau. There will also be a Japanese focus with performances by Tomoko Sauvage, Manisdron, YPY, Tot Onyx and Asuna. The spectacular Japanese band GOAT will also perform with their incantatory, trance rhythms. By sound artist Stef Veldhuis, there will be installations that are part of his What Worlds Make Stories.
With two solo concerts, Thomas Ankersmit and Floris Vanhoof will give their own take on '50 years Serge Modulars'. FAQ closes with a Clubnight featuring DJ sets by Mad Miran, Iris Rijskamp & Hekkla and Annabel & Rosa. 'This year we have a focus on Japanese acts where interesting developments are taking place with many elements of sound and performance art,' says Rikkert Brok, curator of FAQ Festival.
About November Music
November Music is the festival for all adventurous music lovers. Every year, it brings together the most idiosyncratic and progressive creators and musicians from all over the world. Not with the flow or against it, but with new, own currents. It is precisely by giving a place to all these different sounds that November Music allows a personal and individual story to be heard, just as the makers themselves do.
Experience modern composed music, jazz, world music, musical theatre, pop, installations and genres you never thought possible yourself. November Music creates encounters and challenges creators to jump into the deep end.
From 2021, November Music will be part of the national cultural basic infrastructure, known as the BIS. For more information, visit www.novembermusic.net.
