About Phantom Wizard
Phantom Wizard is a composer and improviser whose work blurs boundaries and reimagines traditions. Rather than controlling sound, he seeks to guide it, creating a space in which multiple truths can exist side by side. This principle lies at the heart of ‘Fribari’, a sonic philosophy. Phantom Wizard blends natural soundscapes, the timbral colours of Afro-diasporic music, experimental electronics, and the many ancient traditions that emerge from Suriname’s cultural melting pot. Phantom Wizard lives and works in Amsterdam Zuidoost.
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.
