Haekem Theatre and Wild Goose Chase collaborate for the first time for the occasion!!


“Wild Goose Chase Records presents:
UPDATE
"Les amis nos morts" c'est mort!
It costs 35 euros for an older van to come to a LEZ(Low Emission Zone) zone, so it gets too expensive for some artists to play in Brussels.
Buuut, the beautiful flower Vallée des Fleurs comes and replaces him!!!
"Vallée des Fleurs est un troubadour chantant des louanges à des évènements et des objets insignifiant. C'est un amour particulier qu'il cultive et enrobe de sons de guitar et de violon, le tout sur son lit de pedals d'effets utilisées avec ou sans parcimonie. Un mélange entre la musique médiévale, la musique du passé proche et du future lointain, VDF propose entrée, plat, et dessert musicale pour tout palet ou palais.
Un projet solo de Jonah Blumenthal, multiinstrumentalist basé à Bruxelles et actif dans divers groupes de musique de style différents.
https://linktr.ee/valleedesfleurs"

Mabàh is sound architecture, where the bricks are slippery as words and the foundations are made of whispers.
Little Musgrave, ah, this one builds moving walls around us, which gently(sometimes less so) gathers us closer together as a public with his beautiful lyrics. A chuckle here, a small gasp of wonder there, and a sad nod of understanding, his compositions are excruciatingly good, and his performances always different.

******Mabàh*******
Mabàh est le projet solo de la musicienne française Sarah Foulquier. Issue d’une formation classique au conservatoire d’Avignon et diplômée des Beaux-Arts, elle a joué en duo avec Monte Isola ( Myriam Pruvot) à Bruxelles avant de créer son propre projet musical en 2019.
C’est une musique d’images, de mots, d’harmonies qui se mêlent et se démêlent, s’agençant en une composition sensible et singulière. Avec son alto et sa voix, des ritournelles et des nappes envoûtantes, Mabàh nous emporte dans l’intimité vers des paysages sonores inspirés du présent, chantant et partageant des émotions à fleur d’actualité.
Son premier album «Ronde» est sorti en 2022.

****Little Musgrave****
"The music that Joey Wright makes as Little Musgrave pulls at the threads of the ballad tradition until it starts to come apart at the seams. Though the ghosts of a more conventional troubadour style can be discerned here, Wright’s highly original songs take in everything from speaker-blowing industrial electronics to the avant songcraft of artists like Scott Walker, Xiu Xiu and Einstürzende Neubauten.

IMPROVISED MUSIC

We are proud to invite you to this incredible concert, involving these two Internationally Re(k)nown Improvisers.

VIOLIN AND SAXOPHONE ALTO
Mia Zabelka & Audrey Lauro


Friday April 19th 19:00
Haekem Theatre Brussels
rue de Laeken 66 - 1000 Brussels
Metro De Brouckère or Ste Catherine




Mia Zabelka
https://www.miazabelka.com/

In 2021, Mia Zabelka was awarded the Austrian Art Prize in the category „Music“ by the Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, Civil Service and Sport.

Since 2021 Mia Zabelka has been an „ALUMNI honorary member“ of the „MUK – Musik und Kunst Privatuniversität der Stadt Wien“.

“Mia Zabelka shows that ambience, electronics and improvisation can imposingly co-exist. That is if the music is composed and performed with decisive goals in mind.” Ken Waxman / Jazzword (CA)

“..If someone had asked for an update for the soundtrack to Tarkowski’s »Stalker«, here would be the answer.” Christoph Benkeser/ SKUG Magazine (AT)

“…a virtuoso escape hatch out of our imaginations”; my advice would be, jump right in.” Ed Pinsent/ The Sound Projector (UK)

“…The Quantum Violin is a fascinating, intriguing, dense and vividly detailed soundworld of plucks, scrapes and less identifiable aural phenomena.” Daniel Spicer/ The Wire Magazine (UK)

“…Zabelka proves once more to be a very expressive and self-conscious performer. She likes to keep things a bit rough but is also technically very skilled. So, her improvisations have much to offer, often reaching strongly vibrating and glowing moments. All her ideas and skills are in function of a strong focus and sense of direction. A very solid and convincing work.“ Vital Weekly (NL)

“…If two things are immediately obvious and surprising, then on the one hand the range of the – sometimes dense, sometimes minimal, sometimes repetitive, sometimes unpredictable – repertoire of sounds and patterns, on the other hand the realization that all this can be done with the right touch of a violin.” African Paper (DE)

“…Traditionally the solo violin recital is more commonplace in the so-called classical world than in Jazz. So, it’s no surprise that this high-quality instance of string improvisations arrives from a European whose initial background was in notated music.” Ken Waxman/ JazzWord (CA)

“…Zabelka, Meierkord and Icostech deliberately go deeper and challenge, they form musical arcs of tension that unfold a wonderfully attractive and almost hypnotic effect that you can hardly escape. And it is precisely this aspect that makes the pieces by this trio a real listening experience.” Michael Ternai / Music Austria (AT)

“AFTERSHOCK Vol.1” Best Album 2020/ 2021/ Marlene Schnedl/ ORF Ö1 Zeitton (AT)

“…These complex soundscapes are just phenomenal when listened to in the right mindset. Abstract and touching at once.” Geert Ryssen/ fullcirclemusic (BE)

“If the sounds of Quantum Violin enacted by Mia Zabelka and Glen Hall are remarkable — dense miasma from which undulate denser waves and through which eventually pulses a vibrant heart — so too are the means by which they were accomplished.” Disquiet (USA)

„QUANTUM NOIZE aka Mia Zabelka & Conny Zenk“ Best Live Acts 2019/ SKUG Magazine (AT)

„The excellent experimental Violinist Mia Zabelka“ Shane Woolman/ The Wire Magazine (UK)

“Mia Zabelka improvised violin play comes from the Hitchcockian folds of the brain, making hairs stand up, spinal columns straighten and senses sharpen at the sheer menace of her performance.”
Incubate Festival Tilburg (NL)

“Mighty mistress of the contemporary violin takes you further into the sound with malstrom. Mia Zabelka is a wondrous violinist who takes adventurous journeys into uncharted musical territories.” Pauline Oliveros (USA)

“Mia Zabelka`s work is visceral, cerebral and sensual. A gorgeous, haunting sound which employs classical interpretation and experimental improvisation to transcend musical genres, creating a sonic surround uniquely her own. She inhabits a sonic universe lush with soul cleansing vibrancy”. 

Lydia Lunch (USA) “Cellular Resonance is best when firmly maximalist-minded. Check the fractal, resin-scorched havoc ‘Cellular Resonance #5’ brings to bear, or how the industrial-metal loop-de-woooooo ‘Cellular Resonance #2’ threatens to sprain eardrums and peel paint from hubcaps. What life is all about.” Raymond Cummings (USA) 

„Highly inventive work from the Austrian violinist Mia Zabelka on her M… Zabelka’s full of variations and ideas on this album“ SoundProjector Magazine (UK)

„Mia knows like no other to tell a story with her instrument(s). Fascinating, beautiful and thrilling stories that will move you. If you can do that, besides all virtuosity, then you are a big one.
The capital M from Masterful, Magical and Mesmerizing …” Caleidoscoop (NL)




“The Austrian violinist Mia Zabelka performs miracles on her instrument. Her solo album Cellular Resonance makes clear how far she can push the limits of her strings.”
Gonzo (NL)

“Viennese violinist Mia Zabelka has, with Cellular Resonance, produced one of her most panoramic soundscapes to date, a miasmic, tactile, kinesthetic, cautiously exuberant voyage to far-off and far-out sonic spaces.” The New York City Jazz Record (USA)

“A plethora of slanting melodic lines, spiraling ravishment in mostly mono-tonal environments, coarse timbres clogging the throat quite a bit, droning components with a punkish edge. In general, engrossing material. When Zabelka raises the gestural franticness of the arco up to higher levels things get even more intense.” Touching Extremes (IT)

“Pressing play on Cellular Resonance is like stumbling upon an ancient tree in the middle of a forest, standing before a structure that has endured years of growth and self-nurturing before I arrived. That profound depth is always there, orchestrating those seemingly haphazard collisions, turning each rabid rasp of static into a sculpture of beautiful angles and deftly pinched edges. Like a storm, the sudden drama of the event is merely the fleeting final consequence of a precise, long-nurtured orchestration of elements.” ATTN:MAGAZINE (UK)

Austrian violinist-vocalist Mia Zabelka is considered to be a leading figure in the international scene of electroacoustic music, known for her innovative and boundary-pushing approach to music, incorporating elements of noise, drone and improvisation into her compositions. Using a unique musical language that she describes as ‘automatic playing’. Zabelka allows the sounds to be generated by her own body and gestures in combination with acoustic and electric violin, her own voice, electronic devices and all kinds of strange sound objects. Using this set up she is given the opportunity to expand the sound range so extensively that the violin itself becomes an interface and/or an electronic sound generator. She has released multiple album

Audrey Lauro

"Concert d'Ysaline, 

jeune chanteuse belge 

qui sera au Haekem Theatre 

à Bruxelles ce vendredi 5 avril, 19:00

Portée avec énergie 

par l'accompagnement de Lucas à la guitare, 

ses compositions, 

qu'elles soient en français ou en anglais, 

prennent vie dans un univers acoustique 

où la pop et le folk se rencontrent naturellement. 

Avec sa voix grave et son joli timbre, 

Ysaline nous plonge dans son monde intérieur, 

où ses pensées foisonnantes, 

empreintes de sensibilité, 

s'évadent spontanément en musique."

———————— 𝓛𝓲𝓷𝓮 𝓾𝓹 ———————— 

- 𝐍𝐞𝐫𝐚 : Interstellar, progressive, and hypnotic transmissions collide within the work of Nera - a promising artist from the outskirts of Amsterdam. Nera’s unrivalled passion for electronic music with its underlying history and subcultures translates seemingly into her well-balanced selections of psychedelic rhythms and progressive gems with perfectly timed trips into swirly and spiralling depths. 

By merging the light and the dark while juxtaposing the old and the new, Nera’s sets become an evolving wave of energy, gradually raising the spirit on the dancefloor toward a transcendental sense of ego-fading movement. https://www.instagram.com/laura__nera https://m.soundcloud.com/laura_nera - 

𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐛𝐲𝐭𝐞𝐬: Born in France, living in Belgium Lostsoundbytes is a Live performer, producer and the tapes label founder, Vastechoses. LSB's music is a sound-design practice, based on Analog synthetiseurs, modular system, drummachines, field recording. He likes to use his sounds experimentations and home-generated samples in his tracks who fructuates between a wide range of influences. From bewitching electro downtempo to mutant Dub slash break music, his music evolve since 8 years passing by Dub, Breakbeat, Grime, Industrial music, Drone, Ambiant & Noise. Lostsoundbytes mixe also his inspirations & latest sound finds through DJset, podcasts and his bi-monthly residencies on LYL radio in Brussels and Noods Radio in Bristol. https://linktr.ee/lostsoundbytes https://www.instagram.com/vasteben/ https://lostlostsoundbytes.bandcamp.com/ -

YRLNG "RBIA HARSHA CINTA" LP RELEASE PARTY
YRLNG (DE) is a new project by Gilles Aubry dedicated to ambient and deconstructed club music. Aubry's distinctive presence in the feld of noise and experimental music is marked by his numerous contributions using field recordings, electronic manipulations and feedback processes. He is also known as a member of the Berlin based noise collective MONNO who released five albums between 2003 and 2015. As a sound artist, his practice spans a broad range of media including flm, installation, radio and performances.
His new album RBIA HARSHA CINTA is coming up on Antibody, it is a dark experimental reworking of Aubry's recent flm on seaweed and pollution in Morocco (Atlantic Ragagar 2022). The film's dreadful atmosphere of environmental devastation is transposed into a haunting soundscape of analog textures and naked rhythms. With its title refering to endangered seaweed species, Rbia Harsha Cinta comprises eight tracks that pulse and breathe with a post-natural intensity.

MAG
MAG (SE) is the soloproject of Magdalena Ågren and still a well-kept Gothenburg secret, who every now and then leaves the Swedish underworld and pops up at different alternative festivals and venues magnetizing Europe's underground scene.
With her long tentacles forward and backward in time she enters the stage and performs demonically blaring megaphone vocals, seductively trombone melodies, drum machine slams, and rabbitsyntezis terror noises, creating a permissive world to marvel at.
MAG enchants the audience with her distorted punk trombone pop. Her second album En Fis I Rymden was released 2 dec 2022 on the Gothenburg indie label Surplus Recordings.
The album manages to be powerfully personal yet privately political at the same time as we dance our way through the beats with our wagging tails.
The new album is entirely in Swedish and the title would literally be translated into “a fart in space” which is a Swedish idiom equivalent to “a drop in the ocean”.
Magdalena Ågren also currently plays in three other band projects, SORK and Trapped in a Loop and BADA ( with Anna von Hausswolff)
