Eric Arn & Margaret Unknown - Fri 23 March - 8PM




"Hello,
Max (Margaret) and I are touring in late March. Do you think something can happen at Haekem?
"

Couple of months ago I received this opportunity.
A list of disk, links, soundcloud, etc. followed*.
I carefully experienced and... they both will be at Haekem on Friday 23 March.

I hope You will have a crush on there work, as I did.



From Press Release:
"Explosive free-guitar veterans Eric Arn (Feeding Tube, Feathered Coyote) and Margaret Unknown (Golden Lab Records, Wireglobe Recordings) will be touring Europe as a duo this winter.

They are available for a concentrated dose of brain-bending and string-destroying sound experimentation in Brussels on 23 March, 2018.

For 10 years, the duo of guitarists Eric Arn (Primordial Undermind, Outer Vortex, Bird People) and Margaret Unknown ((In) The Abyssity of Grounds, Seele, Guele Populaire) have been exploring the outer reaches of improvised music with results as fascinating as they are audacious.
Using advanced and extended technique but discarding conventional foundations of music, they eliminate boundaries between psychedelic explorations, freedom music, abstract noise, and contemporary composition.
They are releasing their first duo LP ‘Paranza Corta’ on Feeding Tube Records in February 2018."

KLASIK4SAX underground - Sat 3 March - 8PM

Belorukov+Hyvärinen - Thursday 9 Nov - 8pm





Chilled (out) Improv Music at its best. About two hours of pure sense of ease.

Serenity, quiescence. Calm and deep depth.

Designing the East of North Experience.
Ilia Belorukov (Saint-Petersburg) - alto saxophone or fluteophone, objects, electronics

Lauri Hyvärinen (Helsinki) - acoustic or electric guitar, effect pedals, objects

"Starting from free improvisation traditions and continuing with quiet contemporary composition, the musicians now approach their music from a more compositional point of view, carefully choosing each sound they produce. The range of sounds used is very wide, from using the surfaces of acoustic instruments such as saxophone or guitar to pick up sounds, to feedback in effect pedals chain or software/hardware modular synthesizer. The duo has releases on Pan Y Rosas Discos (USA), Rypistellyt Levyt (FI) and Spina!Rec (RU) labels. They will be on their first big tour in November 2017 after some smaller ones in Finland, Russia and Baltic States."

On THURSDAY 9 Nov they will play at Haekem (8:00 PM). Not to be missed.

BIOHACKING@HAEKEM - Sat 21 Oct - AS FROM 5PM



"Viewed through the prism of context engineering, 

it becomes apparent that the nature of consciousness is not fixed in the first place,
but is entirely dependent on the way we habitually use our eyes, ears and other senses to receive external information and interpret the nature of reality.

After all, it is the mind that creates experience, and once you know how to push its buttons the contours of consciousness become magnificently malleable."



On Sat 21 Oct Rinus Van De Melkboer & Vladimir Kaigorodov will welcome You for an ultimate and massive immersion in BioCitizen Science.
Not to be missed.
From 5PM.

Improbabilis Duo - Saturday 30 September - 8pm


Pierre-Antoine Savoyat and Simon Groppe are moving ahead on a chosen path amongst
the free music unleashed universe (Bill Dixon, Don Cherry, Cecil Taylor, Jacques Di Donato and/or Axel Dorner);
Messiaen & Varèse contemporary music;
Ligeti "formal-static development music";
or Grisey microtonal realm.
Aim: stripping to cast aside the restraints of conventions, and seeking to create musical synthesis.

On Sat 30 Sept they will play at Haekem (8:00 PM). Obviously an open-minded
momentum.
