PNEM geluidsroute PNEM Sound Art Maashorst (PSAM) is a new initiative created by PNEM Soundartfestival. Sound art artists from around the world are presented during a walk in a specially marked route. The corresponding ‘app’ will show you how to follow the path through the woods. The route (also available on paper with a traditional map) is being distribuated in various visitor centers and tourist offices free of charge. In the next few years, the route will be extended over Maashorst Nature Reserve, which stretches across the northern municipalities in Brabant (Uden, Landerd, Bernheze and Oss, ± 3500 ha.). PNEM connects the works of Soundart with the infrastructure of De Maashorst. The area is covered with hiking and cycling trails, including the Slingerpad that starts at Vestzaktheater Naat Piek Uden, home of the annual PNEM Sound Art Festival. Besides a variety of natural sounds, with the app there is the option to listen to soundart. In various Soundart pieces sounds connect city and country, man and nature, cultural history and contemporary art. At the same time they connect the listener with artists in other locations, recording studios, stages, cities and natural sites around the world, providing an outlook on experimental Soundart in a wide variety of Soundart genres. The PSAM route is becoming increasingly enhanced with innovative sound projects that emanate from the international PNEM Sound Art Festival which is held annually in November at Vestzaktheater Naat
Piek. The compositions will not only be different in length and tone, but also in the way they can be listened to: walking, cycling, sitting under a tree or near the water. For each project, information shall be given about the composition and the artist, but also about the specific locations in nature and about flora and fauna. PSAM is the mobile application that can inspire you and guides you throughout a soundfull journey in the Maashorst. Enrich and enlarge your senses: discover singing birds in the forest while you walk the market of Marrakech? See deer while listening to cosmic tracks from Canada?
