Silence #66: Lefka
6 February 2026
8:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m.
Immersive live composition for organ and synthesizers by Italian sound artist Lefka.
Lefka is the musical project of milanese multidisciplinary designer and sound artist Gustavo Cambareri, based in Amsterdam. His music moves between pop, experimental, noise, and emo, combining emotional intensity with raw sound textures and electronic processing.
For his performance at the Oude Kerk, Lefka presents an immersive live composition for organ and synthesizers. The piece unfolds gradually, drawing the audience into a dense and physical sound world that slowly grows. Electronic tones merge with heavily processed acoustic sounds, filling the space with waves of resonance and vibration. The performance is punctuated by spoken poetry, created by Lefka by reworking and combining texts by philosopher Franco Berardi and milanese poet Alda Merini. These texts are used to address technological acceleration, the normalization of control, and the collective psychological collapse produced by contemporary forms of techno-fascism. Sound and voice come together to aestheticize this condition, turning anxiety, overload, and mass disorientation into a cathartic and confrontational listening experience.
About Silence
The music series Silence is a programme of morning concerts. Every first Friday of the month, as the city awakens, musicians explore the centuries-old acoustics of the Oude Kerk. At the heart of the Silence series is contemporary music, where acoustic, digital, and electronic sounds merge. Following in the footsteps of Sweelinck’s walking concerts centuries ago, the audience can move through the historic architecture while engaging with the music.
