Haekem: TONERO X SANCHEZ | Wed Jun 28th | 8PM

Improvised Experimental Music

TONERO X SANCHEZ

Wednesday June 28th | 8PM

TOMORROW

Situated at the intersections of experimental music, free improvisation and performance art, Paula Sanchez’ work is focused on the composition/decomposition and destruction/re-construction of a mutable sound space. With a markedly interdisciplinary profile, she first found her voice as a performer, interpreter and composer in the fields of theater and performance. She stands out for her use of extended techniques and unconventional ways of playing, working with materials like plastic, glass and elements from nature combined with voice and electronics. Hers is the pure presence of an embodied sound which invents its relationships as it makes its way into nothingness. 

She will be share the stage by Andrea Tonero, pianist, composer by training (Arts2 - Mons) and electronic autodidact. Passionate about the relationships between musicians during the intimate moment that is the concert, he is in search of the tacit understanding that unites sound universes.  

Accustomed to the prepared piano, it is here with his modular synthesizer that he will bring sound to life, either it be tender and meditative, or sharp and ferocious.

XAXI (BE)

"Xaxi is Ernesto Gonzaluz and Clarice Calvo-Pinsolle. 

Through sample-based, improvised sound collages they cultivate a textured and musical expression of their shared visions.

Weaving melodies mesh with manipulated recorded sounds through miniature scenes that flow into one another organically like a dream sequence."

https://xaxi.bandcamp.com/



Multipolar (DE)

"Multipolar is a experimental noise duo based in Leipzig.

Teddy Larue and Marie Kollek improvised betewn, distorted, slow sounds and an impulse of a deep bassline. 

The two artists create a live dialogue between their compositions and in contact with the audience. The duo drags the audience into a tunnel of sounds, hypnotic, sometimes tender sometimes loud. Their noises are created through the hyper-materialisation of sound, of overdrives of everyday sounds, the human voice, breathing, machines and effects.

The latest released of multipolar is on UNSE label from Paris.

All best,
Marie Kollec"

Audrey Lauro

http://www.audreylauro.com/index.html

Brussels-based saxophonist Audrey Lauro trained in composition, jazz and contemporary music. She then devoted her energies to experimental music and particularly to improvisation, constantly questioning the language of instrument, phrase and sonic event.

«From phrase to sonic event through all kinds of atoms and particles».

Audrey Lauro started in 2002 a jazz cursus at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussels and contemporary composition cursus at the Conservatoire Royal de Liège. Since then she has spent the last decade developing her music on experimental music scenes in Belgium and abroad. As an alto sax player focusing mostly on free improvised music, she’s also involved in multidisciplinary music projects.

« Dark(ness)/ Bright(ness ) »
saxophone alto, soundtracks27 min drone
«Un parcours sonore entre présence et absence où mouvements organiques et spontanés imposent leur rythmicité face à la récurrence attendue, face à la mémoire sonore conditionnée. Apparition et disparition forment la partition rythmique d’une performance autour du souvenir, un souvenir exact et imprévisible.»
Soundtrack: Pak Yan Lau, Audrey Lauro

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://www.youtube.com/live/aJrc0rIhiVM?feature=share

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"
