sonic acts biennial 2026: heart rests twice concert 3 // kween, nancy mounir & virus2020 on March 12, 2026 at murmur, Amsterdam features electronic music performances DJ sets.

As the Sonic Acts Biennial 2026 unfolds, the third edition of the "Heart Rests Twice" concert series at murmur in Amsterdam promises a profound exploration of memory and home through sound. This gathering of electronic innovators invites audiences to experience a sonic journey where time is not merely linear but a fluid landscape rich with emotions and memories. Kween takes center stage, presenting a compelling new work that intricately weaves together archival sounds and personal narratives. Drawing from cassette recordings exchanged between their mother and grandmother in 1990s Syria, Kween employs traditional Arabic instruments layered with their own evocative vocals. This approach transforms the stage into a reflective space, examining home as a dynamic concept influenced by socio-cultural contexts and the universal tensions of belonging. Joining Kween are Nancy Mounir and Virus2020, both of whom are known for their innovative contributions to the electronic music scene. Mounir's work often blurs the lines between the personal and the collective, while Virus2020’s experimental style creates immersive soundscapes that challenge perceptions of reality. Together, these artists will construct a multi-dimensional experience that resonates deeply within the heart of the audience.
