1.06 Music Library

“We at 1.06 library aim to enlighten curious minds.”

Founded in December 2020, 1.06 Music Library is a curated archive by DRKNGHTS. Patrons of the art can indulge in a catalog of vinyl, cassette, and CD’s (+other discs).

The library stimulates the mind by means of music (and sound) discovery. Research, consult, study, read and listen. You are encouraged to fully dig in and wander as far as you want.

Libraries are gateways to knowledge and culture. 1.06 Music Library was created out of a need for preservation, information seeking and a creative experience. We aim to inspire and help shape new ideas and perspectives that stimulate creativity and innovation…

Housing a wide variety of music genres and recordings, the visitor can immerse into an audible journey consisting out of various bodies of work.

Some of our core practices include walk-in sessions for visitors, listening sessions, referencing stations, donations by the public, consultancy for creatives/businesses and a radio residency in Amsterdam.

1.06 Music Library

is a place to discover Amsterdam’s dynamic and forward-thinking art scene.

Every year on the 1st of July we commemorate slavery and celebrate the abolition of slavery: Keti Koti. Since we believe that Keti Koti should be a national holiday, we are closed on the 1st of July. We asked Lydiënne Albertoe to design a graphic work for this particular occasion. The work is placed on the door of our Central Space and the windows of the Studio Space.

Artist and architect Ola Hassanain intertwines family history with the materiality and temporality of water and clay. For this manifestation, Hassanain shares her ongoing visual research into the spatial implications of catastrophes. In this provocation the artist zooms in on an intimate ‘site of catastrophe’: her grandmother’s house.
