Improvised Music @haekem
Rue de Laeken 66 Lakensestraat 1000 Brussels 

"After years of experience in bebop, West Coast and modal jazz, French alto and soprano saxophonist Ornella Noulet has devoted herself with great dedication and passion to free improvisation and sound research since 2 years. Having played saxophone since the age of seven and spent over 12 years at French conservatories, she is currently studying at the CRB in Brussels. This year, she consolidated her duo with Belgian drummer Ferdinand Lezaire, playing a double concert with Farida Amadou & Moor Mother. A solo set, quartet with Quentin Stokart and Ferdinand, and with Cole Scmidt and Ferdinand and and a duo set with Ferdinand in Haekem.


Ferdinand Lezaire, also from Brussels, is a musician and DJ (Les Ateliers Claus, Sound In Motion), who studied drums in schools, conservatories and on his own.
For the past 5 years, he has been playing free improvised music.
This year, he is studying improvisation at the Conservatoire Royal de Liège.


Their performances this year at Ancienne Belgique and the Summer Bummer Festival (where they shared the stage with artists such as Han Bennink, Terrie Ex, Susie Ibarra, Tashi Dorji, Oren Ambarch, and Mike Reed's Separatist Party) were apparently one of their first live performances.


They want to play today and for the rest of their future, and are building something that, for now, can only be seen and heard live. They are preparing future albums.After years of experience in bebop, West Coast and modal jazz, French alto and soprano saxophonist Ornella Noulet has devoted herself with great dedication and passion to free improvisation and sound research since 2 years.
