Sounding Here SOCIAL MUSIC with Show Pony, Social Music Tech + Robert Nettelship
Step into the unknown with Sounding Here—an avant-garde platform curated by Christine Cornwell, where boundaries between genres dissolve. This event sits as close as possible to the questions alive in a creative process…
It’s real summer now and we are warm enough to ask real questions in this edition with three acts that have socially engaged questions or are embracing the fully expressive spaces of freedom. Expect close encounters with artists and an invitation for dialogue as we hear, see, and feel what moves these artists to make their latest work.

Rafaele Andrade is a musician from Curitiba, Brazil, who combines interdisciplinary approaches in her music. She uses technologies she creates herself to address social and environmental issues.
Driven by a single passion between musical composition and performance, she made her own string instrument called Knurl, playing her productions on stages in Latin America and Europe.
With Knurl, Rafaele mixes experimental, classic and Brazilian music with new strategies for audience engagement and interactivity.
Show Pony
Performers: Laura Nygren -synths, electronics, voice, bass
Robin van Rhijn – Drums, electronics
Show Pony is the interdisciplinary performance project of Amsterdam-based American composer and multi-instrumentalist Laura Nygren. Merging avant pop music with electronics and critical themes, Show Pony creates genre-defying performances that explore feminism, climate collapse, and collective imagination through sound. For this new duo performance, Nygren teams up with drummer Robin van Rhijn— whose musical influences span from jazz, pop, funk, Brazilian, and Sudanese-influenced music. Van Rhijn infuses an eclectic palette of grooves and electronics into the vivid Show Pony’s sound world. Together, the duo crafts performances that are both intimate and explosive, blending synths, bass guitar, drums, electronics and voice into a playful and profound and unapologetically bold.
