Haekem: Duos Unlimited! - Saturday July 1rst - 8PM



Duos Unlimited!


Musique Improvisée 

Saturday July 1st 8PM

Duos avec Dararat Chemnasiri sax alto, Mattia Massolini contrebasse, Piroska Visnyei voix, Mike Goyvaerts percussion, Istvan Droeshaut violon et J-M Van Schouwburg, voix.


« Certains des invités se connaissent bien pour avoir travaillé l’improvisation libre sur scène, mais la plupart n’ont jamais joué ensemble. Ils devront donc découvrir l'intuition, l’approche idéale pour
 créer spontanément un dialogue, un morceau de musique sur base de l’écoute mutuelle et de l’imagination.


Au plaisir de vous rencontrer et 
pour les musiciens invités au plaisir de partager la scène.
Cordialement »

Haekem: JOOKLO QUANTIUS + OMINARE - Thursday June 1st - 19:45





Adventurous improvisational musick from the underground!
Starring:


JOOKLO QUANTIUS (IT/DE)

Absurdist power trio made up of the infamous Jooklo Duo and the smuggling Mik Quantius. Psychedelic outbursts of electronic noise clash with freeform reeds and non-orthodox uses of vocals, violin and cheap keyboards.

https://youtu.be/3iq54k99wMU



OMINARÉ (BXL)

Absorbing electro-acoustic drone explorations by Clarice Calvo-Pinsolle (Lamina, Xaxi) and Léa Roger (Félon, Osilasi, et al). With an arsenal of sound producing/capturing devices, the duo use their ears to create pathways into the inner most forest of life and death.

Haekem: « Esezezus » by Orryelle -book and album Europe launch (BXL)- Thursday May 25th

















The launch of Esezezus
Haekem Theatre - Lakensestraat, 66 - rue de Laeken, 66 - 1000 Brussel - Bruxelles

Thursday, May 25th - 7:00PM

"After the UK Launch in London, the European launch of Orryelle's new esoteric book and album 'Esezezus' in Brussels expands to include a full musical ensemble to accompany his poetry, song, and violin, plus an exhibition of original drawings and painting from the book...

Esezezus is an exploration of the Magic of Language, particularly in verse - both in the form of an exegesis on the subject; and also by example as it compiles over a decade’s worth of esoteric poetry by the author. This ranges from the cosmic and evocational to the personal, in a diversity of styles and forms.

Extracts of ritual theatre productions in verse are also included, and the work is richly illustrated by the author-artist in multiple media - drawings, oil paintings, and photographs from sculptures and performances.

For the European Launch in addition to Orryelle's solo performance, he is also performing new improvisational musical renditions of verses from the book with RinOrrFreyus.

The composite musical beast which was RinOrrCius continues to mutate, now featuring effected bass by Fre Fortuna as well as electronic frequencies from Rinus and voice & violin from Orryelle.

As the central essay in the book explores especially the vibrational aspects of poetic language - ie when spoken or sung rather than only written - it comes with an album (CD & streaming code) of magical music by the author and collaborators, wherein many of the verses in the book are orated or sung accompanied by a wide range of musical accompaniment from neoclassical to experimental electronica.

Esezezus is a new word referring to the bliss of ‘Tongues’ as both physical vessels of language and languages themselves. As the Word (made flesh) ‘Language’ itself comes from French Langue meaning Tongue (the organ) they are really one, and can only thus be differentiated or split by speaking/act- ing with Forked Tongue (dividing the concept and its means)."

Haekem: Andrea Tonero + Sylvain Monchocé - Saturday May 13th 7:30PM



















Back from a Tour in Korea and Japan...

"Monchocé/Tonero is a duo of improvised music where the listening process of the two musicians allows the dialog between the prepared piano and the prepared gayageum/flute/saxophone to create suspended moments in time that broaden the space...
















 ...The sounds coming from each one of them melt into one large soundscape of rich intertwined textures, creating poetic atmospheres in which silent and quiet moments dialog with high energetic and dense layers of sound...















Andrea Tonero - prepared piano
Sylvain Monchocé - gayageum, bass flute, alto saxophone"

Haekem: Felix-Florian Tödtloff + Disposición Asoleada - Friday May 12th - 8PM



Ambiant & Psych and Noise. Improvised!

Friday May 12th, 20:00
Haekem Theatre Rue de Laeken 66 Brussels 1000 Belgium

“German experimental musician Felix-Florian Tödtloff starts his May 2023 tour with a concert at Haekem Theatre in Brussels, backed up by a performance of David Jarrín's free-folk project "Disposición Asoleada".”

You are welcome!

Gerard Daval



Felix-Florian Tödtloff (Ambient, GER)

In 2012 Berlin-raised musician Felix-Florian Tödtloff started performing solo as »Sferics«, improvising frippertronics-style loops on electric guitar. Over time he added layers of subtractive synthesizer drones, percussion and processed field recordings - expanding his musical vocabulary and leaning towards more compositional techniques.

In 2021 Full Body Massage Records released Tödtloff's first album »Shale / Like Gold« on which he blends acoustic instruments with Berlin-school-style electronica, followed by time-streching studies which became the 2-song EP »Alto«, released in 2022 on Grisaille.

Besides performing solo Felix is part of experimental Duos "Magazine Magazine" & "The Old Dream of Symmetry" and leads the improvisational rock group "Swoosh". Notable solo performances took place all throughout Europe, Israel, Russia and China. Two musical study tours took him to the Caucasus and the Volta Region of Ghana.


The concert at Haekem will mark Felix-Florian Tödtloff's debut solo performance in Belgium.

Disposición Asoleada (Free-Folk, ECU) (BE)

"Disposición Asoleada" (spanish for Sunny Disposition) is the moniker of the Ecuadorian music citizen David Jarrín.

Active in the Brussels psych and noise scene since 2003, his explorations range between acoustic lo-fi experiments to eerie soundscapes, from glitch electronics to raga oriented transfigurations on a six string banjo.

Jarrín is member of "Sage Alyte", "éole cristal" & "Amanita Vulva".
This concert is brought to you by Weak Industries (https://weak-industries.net) in cooperation with Haekem Theatre, Brussels (https://haekem.blogspot.com).

EMS Synthi AKS

(EN.Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMS_Synthi_AKS)

"Synthi AKS is portable modular analog synthesisers made by EMS of England.

In 2020, the average price for a Synthi AKS in good condition was around US$20,000 on the international market.

The Synthi AKS has been used extensively by Brian Eno in his art rock and ambient albums. He particularly made prominent use of its signal-chain editing capability in order to add colour to his own voice as well as Robert Fripp and Phil Manzanera's guitar work. His early band, Roxy Music, supposedly requested that he join them after watching him tinker with the Synthi AKS for only a few minutes.[citation needed]

Tangerine Dream used several Synthi AKS's throughout the early 1970s.

Jean-Michel Jarre featured the Synthi AKS on his albums Oxygène and Équinoxe, as well as on Oxygène: Live in Your Living Room.

Pink Floyd used the synthesiser to create the electronic riff of the track "On the Run" and to play the solo of "Any Colour You Like", both from the 1973 album The Dark Side of the Moon. (The band was reported to use an EMS VCS 3 synthesizer although it actually was a Synthi).[citation needed]

Jorge Antunes used Synthi A throughout the early 1970s with his ensemble GEMUNB Grupo de Experimentação Musical da Universidade de Brasília.

Czesław Niemen in 1975 used Synthi AKS in recording of his album Katharsis.

Tone Generator Aka Dom Guerin AKS synthesizer on SPK (band) Information Overload Unit & subsequent tours of US & England.

Klaus Schulze and Pete Namlook refer to Synthi AKS in the name of their collaboration album The Dark Side of the Moog VIII: Careful With the AKS, Peter.

Kraftwerk's Florian Schneider used one to process his flute on early albums including Radio-Activity in 1974.

In 1980, American pop band The Bongos used the Synthi AKS on both sides of their debut single "Telephoto Lens" b/w "Glow in the Dark", played by Dennis Kelley. In 2010, lead singer Richard Barone again used the Synthi on his album Glow, produced by Tony Visconti. It is featured prominently on the song "Yet Another Midnight".

In 2013, a Japanese artist Yoshio Machida made an album "Music from the SYNTHI". This album was made by only Synthi AKS.

In 2017 Jean-Marc Foussat and Georgios Karamanolakis released a 12-inch experimental record lp "Substunce sans Scrupule" that was composed solely of two (2) Ems Synthi AKS machines and an EMS phase shifter unit."

Haekem: STEREOCILIA (UK) + ZEMLYA (BE) - Thursday May 4th - 19:30PM




Thursday May 4th 19:30PM
Drone and Noisy

Bonambi Records & Haekem Theatre are very happy to share an evening of live concerts full of drone layers, noisy guitars, mesmerizing Ambient/Post-Rock vibes and improvised music.


19h30: Doors
20h: Zemlya
21h: Stereocilia

Stereocilia
is Bristol, UK based composer John Scott. 
Through his guitar, analog synths and live looping techniques he creates dense and rich atmospheres of sound resulting in a cinematographic and cathartic experience.
Over the past 10 years he has performed all over Europe and has shared a stage with acts including Ben Frost, William Basinski, Gnod, Nadja, Daniel Lanois, Noveller, Acid Mothers Temple and Josef Van Wissem.
He has also presented work for live radio broadcasts, and regularly composes for Short Film, including the Channel 4 award winning documentary “The Boy With The 8-Hour Heart”.
His 5th album “Crystalline” will be out in April 2023 on Drone Rock Records.

Zemlya’s “earth, land” is formed by spherical drone layers, distortion and crashing cymbals, from which their own meditative, metallic sound world arises. Through their live performance, Geraldine Vanspauwen (Lazzaro) and Maan Methven enter into an energy-driven dialogue between drums, bass guitar and voice, that connects clarity and distortion, finds intimacy in feedback, and explores both rough noise and uplifting silence, soaking in the deeper fields of imagined landscapes, inspired by the sounds and rhythms of their inner bodies and surroundings.

SIMON HALSBERGHE /BE
(electronics, experimental, dance, techno)
SIMON HALSBERGHE improvises his music, constantly exploring new possibilities and offering a unique and evolving electronic sound. Like a scientist, he focuses on the concept of time, creating an intriguing rhythm that defies traditional dance tempo. He achieves this by blending hardware machines with computer music, resulting in a sound that transports listeners to new and unknown territories, which Simon often discovers at the same moment as the listener, causing both to face the present and immerse themselves in the experience.
In addition to his solo work, Simon has composed music for theatre productions. He was awarded the prize for Best Soundtrack at the Angers Film Festival in France for his work on the animated short film "Kitten Instinct" by Liesbet Eeckman. Simon has also worked as a DJ and composer for the fashion industry, creating tailor-made shows for top designers such as Gianni Versace and Christopher Kane.
Previously, Simon released music under different names, including Pitch & Hold (Love Triangle Music), Simon Hold (Vlek Records) and Habergeon (Gentle Tapes).
