A highly prolific artist, BAKER has released numerous recorded works, both solo and with various group projects—most notably his dreamsludge duo, Nadja—and including collaborations with such artists as Tim Hecker, Carla Bozulich, Jussi Lehtisalo (Circle/Pharaoh Overlord), Ekin Fil, FM Einheit, and more—on such independent labels as Karlrecords, Southern Lord Records, Important Records, Alien8 Recordings, and Consouling Sounds.

Factheory

DARKWAVE ROCK POSTPUNK

Groupe issu des cendres de nombreux groupes plus ou moins alternatifs des années 80, 90 et 2000 (Dirty Time, Petit Futur, Amazing Games, Unsaid... entre autres). Factheory représente un compromis réussi entre une darkwave aux mélodies imparables et un rock postpunk aux tendances électro.




Chantant tour à tour en anglais et en français suivant les inspirations harmoniques des chansons, le répertoire de Factheory semble avoir trouvé, après cinq années d’existence, et dans la stabilité de son line-up, une cohérence et une homogénéité, tant dans ses sonorités que dans sa démarche musicale.

En octobre 2021, est sorti son troisième ep 3Sand1D, un quatre titres en CD sur le label indépendant K1L records, label sur lequel était déjà sorti leur premier mini-album Weekend au black studio en 2018 suivi du ep 4 titres Stockholm en 2019.




Résultat fidèle de leur capacité à composer des chansons imparables, le groupe propose cette fois, deux titres en français et deux titres en anglais qui se retrouveront également sur le vinyle dont le vinyl est sorti il y a bientôt 2 ans.

De Désormais, mélange réussi entre dub et électro-pop à Shelter, punk-wave survolté, en passant par le rock entraînant de Subutex ou encore, Souvent, longue mélopée hypnotique et crépusculaire, on s’imprègne de cet univers singulier tout en se laissant emporté par leurs mélodies accrocheuses.


L’année 2023 aura surtout été marquée par la sortie du EP « The Day », qui inclut trois titres remixés par le Stéphane Devillers du groupe bruxellois OK Lion !


Enfin en 2024, Factheory sortira son premier album (entre 12 et 14 titres) laissant à la fois place à des titres aux mélodies imparables mais aussi à des titres plus expérimentaux.


Ce samedi 17 février 2024, 19:00, ce sera l’occasion de découvrir l’album sur la scène du théâtre Haekem.

Performance audiovisuelle par Mandrill Kin

Mandrill Kin est un artiste sonore et visuel basé à Bruxelles dont la pratique est centrée sur l'improvisation en musique expérimentale accompagnée de visuels génératifs.

3/ OMI CROBE : "PREMATURE ANGELIC ENTITIES"
Step into the realm of the "PAE's", where the Celestial meets the Digital in an unfinished grand symphony. Here, the Artist cripples the AI it's attempt to capture and reproduce the divine. It is deliberately left incomplete, creating a unique moment in space where technology and spirituality intersect. Each artwork, a blend of ethereal forms and digital abstraction, invites you to ponder the modern relationship between the mystical and the mechanical with us humans inbetween.
Become a traveler and a witness on a unpredictable exploration where the lines between the ancient and the algorithmic blur, offering a glimpse into the discovery of new dimensions of artistic expression and consumption.


4/ THE INTERACTIVE WOMB EXPERIENCE
The Hell for Autistic or Paradise for The Neurotypical? Who knows the Truth? Try it and make your own conclusion. It is all about extreme overloading of human sensory channels in 20 min session. This time we do it with new transducers. More Hell or more Paradise?. You will decide the clinical significance of our work. Critical voices are welcome.

PART #1
SOLO IMPRO CONCERT

“ THE ORGANIC ART OF P-ART ” 
PAUL AR TIMMERMANS aka P-ART

28 /2/ 2024 
Haekem Brussels 19: 00


Acoustic art 

P-ART remains fascinated by intuitive interventions with percussive sound objects: Chinese cymbals, Capiz shells, wind chimes, antique blue glass, PET bottles etc. Acoustic art with organic sound objects.

In analog heaven

This impro concert starts with a sound journey by P-ART who brings his sound creations to life on his vintage analog synthesizer Ensoniq ESQ1. The sound patches excel in color, dynamism and unexpected variation in the sound process. 

Sound sculptor P-ART creates heavenly soundscapes of unpredictable waveforms and microtonal worlds. He breaks the standard distance between the keys (= 12 equal semitone steps per octave) by modulating the analog oscillators. For example: The flexible sound patch N2KICK based on a double NOISE2 wave and a KICK waveform makes the chromatic tuning scale insanely in the higher area of the keyboard (dynamic microtonality).

Accordion Primi

Purely intuitive and experimental P-ART extracts organic sound processes from his rediscovered accordion from his childhood.

BIO
Paul A.R. Timmermans (P-ART), Belgian composer, all-round musician and multimedia artist, is a versatile and talented artist who continues to push the boundaries of conventional music. His work is sure to appeal to anyone with an interest in experimental and innovative music and art.

His first Meta LP (1983) is a unique and innovative collector’s item that showcases P-ART’s experimental approach to music. The album features a mix of electronic, classical, and experimental jazz influences, using electronic sounds and sound objects to create unique soundscapes.

Whether he plays the piano, balafon, sound objects or synthesizer, the P-ART approach to his musical creation remains the same: “For me, an intuitive composition is an organic process in which the music is thrown into my lap, as it were. Spontaneously without a written plan. Only then the path will open itself in an authentic way to me, the instant composer. Whether a real composition is developing or not, it cannot be predicted or conducted by myself. It happens. I take the same approach while creating multitrack recordings track by track: meta polyphony.”

Since 1999, P-ART launched its artistic paradise online (http://p-artweb.net/PARADISE/parindex.htm) and its P-ART Family (WEB OF ARTISTS). These artists affiliated to P-ART are engaged in the same wide field of new music and contemporary arts. With personal contributions to the P-ART WEB of ARTISTS. All selected artists belong to the virtual P-ART family, all together and completely free. Look at: http://p-artweb.net/P-ART/P-ARTWEB/index.htm

P-ART is the curator and pro bono publisher of “The P-ART Projects” (2002, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2022) – booklets first with CD, later with DVD - in which alternative artists from around the world (Alvin Curran, Margaret Leng Tan, Clarence Barlow, Mia Zabelka, Mike Kramer etc.) participated. P-ART's CDs and DVDs ("White as Piano", "Musica Povera", "The Intuitive P'ARTy", "Microtona", "The Art of Silence" and "10XOPEN") are available via his website <p-artweb.net>.

Two digital albums on Bandcamp: Intuitive Music (2021) and Musica Povera 2 (2023).

P-ART performed solo impro concerts in Louvain-la-Neuve, Hasselt, Leuven, Brussels, Gent, Rixensart, Tielt-Winge, Heerlen (NL), Osnabrück (DE), Svendborg (DK), Vienna (AT), Tokio (JP).



PART #2

Electronic Music
MIKE KRAMER / Core Shift (AU/NL)


Sound artist and field recordist Mike Kramer creates electronic music with field recordings and spatial interaction as an important ingredient. With his solo work he invites the listener to get to know his/her environment (better). This is often accompanied by an intense physical experience of the sounds presented. In addition, Mike also produces more musical work that is reflected in projects such as Core Shift and CS², where more emphasis is placed on Ambient/Techno and Noise.

During his performance at Haekem, Mike presents new solo work, followed by compositions from his latest Core Shift EP 'Enlightment'.

Mike Kramer created various sound walks, a radio play and numerous sound installations, which were exhibited in cities such as Maastricht, Heerlen, Tilburg, Hasselt and Aachen. On commission he wrote more than 20 compositions. His work has also been released on CD and DVD under various monikers. In addition to his artistic outlets, Mike has his own company Sonic Waves, is the initiator and artistic director of sound art platform (h)ear - experimental audio research, and he makes programs and live recordings for Concertzender Nederland, Rewire, Le Guess Who?, Meakusma, Jazzblazzt and (h)ear.

*The Merz Test
"De Kurt Schwitters (1887-1948), on connaît surtout les collages, dessins et tableaux exposés dans les musées ou galeries d’Europe et d’Amérique, aisément accessibles en reproduction. Mais son désir d’explorer et d’étendre le champ artistique se manifesta dans bien d’autres domaines : poète, plasticien, performeur avant l’heure, il fut surtout le seul et unique représentant de « Merz », mouvement qu’il créa pour son propre compte en même temps qu’une revue éponyme. En traduisant ici quelques-uns des textes que Kurt Schwitters écrivit en allemand ou en anglais durant son exil des années 1930-1940, non publiés de son vivant, Sabine Macher invite à redécouvrir un artiste total, ayant vécu de plain-pied avec son époque en restant rebelle à tout embrigadement."
