R U I S is one of several pieces that have emerged from Kuit’s years of research conducted with Kyma on the phenomenon of noise.
Part of a cycle interpreting our increasingly complex world of information, RUIS explores collisions, dialogs, interplay, patterns, spreading, merging — sometimes the noise is even pulled loose and spread into pulses in the twelve-meter-wide horizontal panorama, each tap shifting in space as an audio object. A study in spaciousness and complexity, frequencies are stacked or moved through the space, sometimes configured in a static distribution, while at other times as pseudo-chaotic movements. Each loudspeaker can serve either as an autonomous sound object or as an intrinsic part of the whole.. Roland Kuit’s R U I S (noise) Sonic installation has been nominated for the prestigious Matthijs Vermeulen Prize for Composition 2025, the preeminent composition prize in the Netherlands.
