Architect Jo Van Den Berghe and composer Jeroen D’hoe met each other in the artistic research project ‘New feet for 5 years a minute’ (Association of KULeuven in collaboration with the Concertgebouw Bruges). The synaesthesia between architecture and music challenges the boundaries of the disciplines and generates new architectural and musical composition possibilities that take the viewer into a whirling experience of space and sound. After thorough observations of each other’s disciplines, the researchers organized teaching sessions/workshops that directly led to creation sessions by the research team of ‘New feet for 5 years a minute’, in which Jo Van Den Berghe and Jeroen D’hoe (as research promoters) jointly created architectural-musical modules and compositions. Subsequently, they demonstrated and briefed their newly conceived modules and compositions to assistant researchers Annemie Demeulemeester (architect) and Frank Akino Beekman (artist).
