Solange - A Seat at the Table: 10th Anniversary Deep Listening Session

The historic Teylers Museum is bringing four special deep listening sessions to Haarlem Vinyl Festival in collaboration with Pitchblack Playback, FFF Sound System, and Koda. True to Pitchblack Playback’s deep listening concept, each session invites you to experience an album from beginning to end, in complete darkness and without distractions. Put away your phone, close your eyes and give the music your full attention.

The sessions take place in Teylers Museum, the oldest museum in the Netherlands, open since 1784. Surrounded by almost 250 years of art, science and history, the museum’s monumental spaces create a unique environment for this contemporary listening experience. Here, the architecture, atmosphere and music come together to offer a different way of listening.

The music is played through the FFF Sound System, a high-fidelity, four-way horn-loaded system designed and built in Rotterdam by Form Follows Frequency. Created for critical listening, the system combines precision, clarity and powerful dynamics. For each session, the sound is carefully tuned to the specific acoustics of the room, allowing every detail of the music to come through with exceptional clarity.

Solange’s A Seat at the Table is an intimate, powerful and deeply resonant album that moves between soul, R&B, funk and spoken word. Its warm production, layered vocals and intricate arrangements reveal more with every listen. Ten years after its release, experience this modern classic from beginning to end, and hear its textures, silences and details in a completely new way. In the dark, every detail comes forward.
