When jazz and Pop collide + Jazz Jam Session
Bruno De Smet (piano)Julien Derenne (drums)Sal La Rocca (double bass)Nicolas Dewalque (guitar/arrangement) Whether you’re a fan of jazz, baroque or electronic music, I think it’s safe to say that we’ve all fallen in love with a piece of pop music. And in the back of our minds, the idea “I wonder what this would sound like if it had been composed in a more modern jazz style” can more than probably take hold. “When jazz and pop collide” was born of this idea, a quartet made up of Bruno De Smet (piano), Julien Derenne (drums), Sal La Rocca (double bass) and Nicolas Dewalque (guitar/arrangement) inspired by sounds such as Gilad Hekselman’s cover of “And I love Her” or Brad Meldhau’s cover of “Paranoid Android”,… Jamiroquai, Radiohead, The Beatles, Michael Jackson,… They’ll all be on hand to help you rediscover your favorite pop standards. Whether you’re a jazz fan with a taste for the new, or you’re looking for an introduction to jazz through familiar melodies, we’ve got something for you! FREE ENTRANCE

Double Bill : Mathieu Robert Solo – 15 resonances (Album Release) + Alexander Pielsticker / Nicolas Kummert - digital shadow
If you like Steve Lacy, Arve Henriksen, Ben Goldberg, Yusef Lateef and John Cage Murcof x Vanessa Wagner Jan Bang
Mathieu Robert Solo – 15 resonances (Album Release ‘Fifteen Resonances’)
In this solo project, Mathieu honors his loyal companion, the soprano saxophone.
Through miniature sounds he shares his findings, sometimes composed, sometimes improvised, using those tones as an anchor.
He invites the listener to discover a particular microcosm by highlighting all the different angles of his instrument. The source of the inspiration varies from ceramics to jazz, passing through paintings, Japanese culture, improvisation and movement.
With this practice of the moment, Mathieu dives into the matter and tries to inhabit the sounds themselves, in search of serenity and paradoxically... silence.

Alexander Pielsticker / Nicolas Kummert - digital shadow
This duet is an encounter between a musician playing on a prepared piano and his digital shadow. Alexander's piano is prepared with different objects which resonate and vibrate as he plays, and these sounds are manipulated in real time by Nicolas via his computer. The result is mysterious music, where we no longer know who is doing what. The two musicians manipulate the same sound, over which neither has total control, which brings them even closer than a 'traditional' duo. This creates poetic music that is sometimes abstract, sometimes powerful, even harsh, but also very intimate. The project started when the two musicians met in Arnhem, where they were both pursuing a Master degree; Alex was doing research on the prepared piano and Nicolas on the expressive possibilities of electronics applied to acoustic sounds.
