Like a true alchemist, the Belgian/Dutch sound artist and composer Cathy van Eck connects the worlds of art, sound and theater. Man and his endless imagination are always the magical factor. Van Eck is a researcher of the rare poetic kind. Her artistic work consists of performances with live electronics and installations with sound objects, which she often designs herself. She works closely with performers to develop her pieces, and sometimes she single-handedly creates a personal fantasy world full of absurd features.
