Jam With Humans Fest 2024

Discover the exciting programme for this 2-day festival in a glance

ASTIRoids + Orchestra

Sunday | 20:30 | passholders only

ASTIRoids are a whole new troupe of freestyle rappers based in Amsterdam. And the Jam With Humans Orchestra are a troupe of musicians specialised in improvisation. They looked at each other and went "we should play together, right?". And thus, this an upbeat, explosive and fun show was born!

The Daze

Saturday | 20:30 | passholders only

The Daze offer you electronic ambient music, a mesmerising lattice of elongated notes and deep beats, reflecting on their live in Amsterdam as imigrants. Brought together by guitarrist Sebastian, he is joined on the cello by Anastasiya, on the violin by Alice, on the vocals by Chayanika and on the synths and beats by DJ Dedko.

Fancy Dress Party

Saturday | 19:00 | passholders only

Albert (flute), Daniel (drums) and Anastasiya (cello) play every show as if they had just entered a party - but instead of chatting, they play. This is free improvisation with a purpose. Also, one of them didn't quite get what they meant of Fancy Dress Party - guess who.

Music, Part Two

Sunday | 19:00 | passholders only

This is a project on a mission - to find what is the second chapter of human-made music. It's experimental, from the instruments and technologies they use, to the involvement of the audience in the attempt of creating a completely new musical language.
