Femke Dekker

Whether you experience her musical activities or those relating to her contemporary arts practice, curiosity is a key aspect gracing Femke Dekker. As a sound-practitioner the core of her practice – both as an artist and as educator – revolves around listening. Taking her cue from renowned American composer Pauline Oliveros, listening to her is a call to action: “Listening is directing attention to what is heard, gathering meaning, interpreting and deciding on action.” (Oliveros,1999/2022). Under the artist moniker 'Loma Doom', her signature style revolves around electronic experimentalism, both for mind and movement, seeking the outliers, one that avoids linearity, towards a space where intuition and understanding meet.

She currently holds radio residencies at Stranded FM (show: Daydream Nation), Radio Tempo Não Pára (Helter Skelter) and Echobox (Left of the Dial) and has performed at influential spots such as Salon Des Amateurs, Meakusma and Cafe Oto, amongst many others. Parallel to spending her time behind decks, Femke has a multi- faceted practice as contemporary arts educator, teaching as a (guest) tutor at Sandberg Instituut in Amsterdam, Design Academy Eindhoven and the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague and is an artistic research fellow for the Amsterdam based Visual Methodologies Collective.
