* MUSIC
21/12 :
ONRUST 

Onrust is Dutch for unrest, turmoil, agitation, disquiet.

Wendy Mulder, aka ONRUST has been succesfully exploring the wondrous world of analogue synths, drum machines, strange pedals and cable spaghetti for a while now. She describes her music as spherical electronic industrial but that just doesn’t do her work justice. 

Think of a hypnotic yet minimal and old-school sounding mixture of ORPHX, ESPLENDOR GEOMETRICO and PAN SONIC instead, combining cold industrial beats with a distinct feminine sublety and attention for detail.

UltraTerrestrial 

UltraTerrestrial. Step into a realm where the boundaries of sound are shattered, and the mind is set free. 

Prepare to embark on a sonic expedition like no other, as the hypnotic beats of psychedelic industrial music merge with the captivating allure of field sampling.

* EXPO
Floris De Lobel : 

The wonders of the New Earth and the journey towards the 5th Dimension. 

How fascinating ! 

It seems that the artist, Floris, has tapped into the ethereal realms of the universe to capture this magnificent concept in his artwork.
It's not all fun and games and fairy stuff, also the hard ongoing battle between the Dark and The Light,
Which shall prevail !

Focus on "Our" / The Interconnectedness of All of Existence,
"Our" Multi-Dimensional (Higher) God'Self !
I must say, the blending of colors and the dance of forms truly reflect the harmony and universal love that permeates this New Earth. It's as if the brushstrokes themselves are bridging the gap between worlds, weaving a tapestry of transcendence and rebirth.

And let us not forget the Indigo and Crystal children, the bearers of an extraterrestrial legacy, born into this holographic universe. They are the starseeds, connected to realms far beyond our own galaxy.
His artwork beckons us to explore our innermost selves and rediscover our connection to the cosmic web. It serves as a reminder that we are part of something greater, a pulsating universe that calls us to expand and evolve.
In the reflection of his art, we may find our own path towards transcendence and spiritual enlightenment. Truly, balance is the key to life, and Floris has beautifully depicted this notion through the ANKH, the Sacred Cross, symbolizing the evolution and manifestation of both horizontal and vertical consciousness.

These creations by Floris are meant to strengthen, stimulate, and anchor this emerging reality. They serve as a beacon of support, aiding us in embracing and manifesting the incoming waves of this glorious new paradigm.

May his artwork inspire us to embrace the beauty and possibilities of the New Earth, as we journey towards the 5th Dimension with love, harmony, and cosmic awareness :

"Premature Angelic Entities" by Omi Crobe
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.

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.

Ocean Eddie

IMPROVISED MUSIC

Andreas Bral: harmonium/synths & fx
Stan Maris: accordion & fx
Viktor Perdieus: saxophone & fx

FRID DEC 15th  19:00

When circular currents coexist within larger ocean movements, they are sometimes referred to as eddies. Equal bodies competing for limited space and impact.

The overlap­ping functions and timbres of this line-up (Stan Maris - accordion, Viktor Perdieus - sax, Andreas Bral - harmonium & synths) evoke a similar phenomenon.

Usually every player can play every part, which leads to improvi­sa­tions in which orches­tra­tion is central. Modular composi­tions and pieces that start from a central motif are the starting points. From here, the redistri­bu­tion of impulse, sound and silence begins again and again.

This creates an interac­tion that can be both playful, tireless and slightly competi­tive.

MASTER IMPROVISED MUSIC   I   SAX   I   SAX   I   DRUMS

Haekem Theatre: Rue de Laeken - 66 Lakensestraat - 1000 Brussels

Paulina Owczarek and Peter Orins met in 2015, when they were both invited by pianist and conductor Satoko Fujii to participate in the creation of the Satoko Fujii Orchestra Berlin. A few concerts and two records of the orchestra later, the two musicians, one living in Krakow in Poland, the other in Lille in France, keep in touch or cross paths at concerts…

In 2019, the saxophonist invites the drummer to play his solo in Krakow, and the two take the opportunity to try the duet experience: the meeting is luminous. 

Both musicians are fond of a total and unlimited freedom, and of a research on timbres and sound experimentations. 

Close-up sound, play on the breaths and squeaks of objects, minimal approach but also raw energy that reminds a certain tradition of the saxophone-drum duo in the history of free-jazz…

For this concert they invite the Brussel based saxophone player Audrey Lauro, who plays with Peter Orins in a trio together with Christian Pruvost.



Paulina Owczarek – saxophonist and improviser, graduated from the Academy of Music in Krakow. She plays the alto and baritone sax. 

Interested mainly in free improvisation, she also performs contemporary chamber music, having premièred numerous new works for saxophone in Poland.

She is an active member of improvised and experimental music scene, taking part in Krakow free improv projects (such as Institute Of Intuition, Muzykoterapia) and international festivals of contemporary and improvised music (Ad Libitum, Hurta Cordel, Musica Electronica Nova, Ostrava Days, Lublin Jazz Festival, AudioArt, Sound Exchange, Krakow Jazz Autumn, Mirror Mirror, Discordian Community Riot, No Woman No Art, Unsound, Soundance, Saalfelden Jazz Festival).

The founder and conductor of Krakow Improvisers Orchestra, an ensemble dedicated to conducted improvisation. Currently she is also involved in groups such as Morświn, Human.error, Dust Mite Paradise and Sambar. 

She has been a member of London Improvisers Orchestra and Satoko Fuji Orchestra; she has worked with theatres: Teatr Stary, Teatr Sztuk and Krakow Opera and has improvised with poets, dancers and painters.


Audrey Lauro : Brussels-based saxophonist A.L 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».

A.L 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.
She meets on her artistic path recognized musicians such as Mark Sanders, John Russell, Lawrence Casserley, Alison Blunt, Maggie Nicols, Steve Noble, Bernard Santacruz, Makoto Sato, Alexander Hawkins, Ken Vandermark, Sabu Toyozumi, Marc Ribot, …

Her discography includes more than fifteen releases since 2008, the album solo «Sous un ciel d'écailles» was released in 2022 on the Gent label El Negocito records, retracing a work for saxophone solo started in 2011.

Peter Orins is a French drummer, who has been playing jazz, improvised and experimental music since the mid-90’s.

In 2001 he created the Circum collective (now called Muzzix) for which he’s still one of the artistic directors. 

Leading numerous projects inside the collective, from solo works to big orchestras, he also plays with many international musicians (Satoko Fujii, Natsuki Tamura, Ikue Mori, Dave Rempis, Joke Lanz, Michael Pisaro-Liu, Anthony Pateras, Jean-Luc Guionnet, Sophie Agnel, and Christine Wodrascka and others), and is very active on the improvised music scene in France and abroad. 

Since 2004, he has managed Circum-Disc, an artist-run label which has released some 100 recordings.

Illustration: Piotr Osuszkiewicz    I    Film "2023"

Première présentation publique de la 

TRILOGIE EXPERIMENTALE DE FILMS : 

« 2020 », « 2022 », « 2023 »

PIOTR OSUSZKIEWICZ

Le 2 décembre 2023 de 18h à 22h.

PREMIERE    I    FILMS

Haekem Theatre: Rue de Laeken - 66 Lakensestraat - 1000 Brussels

Le public aura l'occasion de s'entretenir avec le cinéaste et de visionner des clips musicaux de sa production. 

Les 3 films ensemble auront une durée de 50,90 minutes.

La trilogie cinématographique de Piotr Osuszkiewicz est un exemple intéressant de film engagé, utilisant des éléments de métaphore et de symbolisme largement étendus.

Réalisé sans budget avec des ressources proches de zéro, pour la plupart sans acteurs professionnels, producteur, ni véritable équipe et avec très peu du temps.

Piotr n'a eu de cesse d'aller de l'avant pour mener son projet à bien. Et par miracle, il l'a mené à bien. Il est également important de noter la constance et la certitude artistique qui l'ont conduit à rendre cohérentes les trois parties de l'œuvre.

Il semblerait que le monde imaginaire dépeint dans la trilogie soit loin de la réalité. Rien n'est moins vrai !

Cette réalité cinématographique, malgré son profond domaine de métaphores et d'images poétiques, est aussi proche que possible de la réalité de la vie quotidienne.

Avec ses nuances de plus en plus profondes. 

Les cadres biaisés nous suggèrent une réalité en partie irréelle. L'avant-garde inquiétante du regard évoque des images de malheur et de fin imminente.



"Il y a une chose étonnante dans ce film en trois parties qui attire le spectateur à l'écran. Il s'agit de l'espièglerie du réalisateur à l'égard du spectateur.

Osuszkiewicz guide le récit de telle manière que le spectateur a envie d'une sorte de percée. 

Une chose soudaine, inattendue. 

Pour qu'à partir de ces situations banales, une image surprenante soit soudainement révélée, déchirant radicalement le récit existant jusqu’à ce moment là.

Comme si tout ce qui avait été présenté jusqu'alors n'était qu'une introduction, une préfiguration, un prolégomènes.

Une anecdote racontée avant le passage à l'acte."

Jakub Smolarski

Haekem: THE EYE OF TIME (Marc Euvrie) Frid Dec 1st 2023 - 19:00

THE EYE OF TIME

Marc Euvrie

ELECTRONIC   I   DRONE   I   CELLO      IMPROVISATION

Haekem Theatre: Rue de Laeken - 66 Lakensestraat - 1000 Brussels

Electronic/Drone (Cello/Guitar/Machines) 

under nickname THE EYE OF TIME

THE EYE OF TIME is the Solo-Project of the French musician Marc Euvrie.

Euvrie's musical development is deeply connected with the French diy scene though he has been classically trained as well.

He started to play piano being 9 years old, composed his first pieces with 15 and studied cello at the conservatoire after finishing school.

Being influenced by Claude Debussy, Philip Glass, Eric Chopin, J.S. Bach, Michael Nyman just as Godspeed You Black Emperor, A Silver Mt. Zion or Portishead Marc Euvrie began to translate his personal reflection of our complex world into music.

Multi-instrumentalist and fan of classical, electronic and minimalism music, Marc Euvrie goes through pure simplicity aswell as generous and epic moments,all connected to romantism and impressionism of 18th and 19th Century.

Seeking introspection, his intimist live shows leads to contemplation, like spaces out of time creating the ability to escape a noisy daylife. We can think of Philip Glass, Max Richter, Johan Johannsen or Steve Reich, where classical music is fullfilled by electronic rythms and patterns that gives Euvrie's music a unique atmosphere.

Marc Euvrie has a very solid musical background since 25 years, from his many records released on the well-known avant-garde german label Denovali, and two decades of worldwide live shows into classical, electronic and punk scene.

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 25th  I  8PM

Funk  I  Rock  I  Prog

Haekem Theatre: Rue de Laeken - 66 Lakensestraat - 1000 Brussels

Ankhor est un groupe de funk / rock progressif né des jams sessions déchaînées de Bruxelles.

Chacun de ses 4 membres en incarne l'essence même et, au travers de leurs instruments, font vivre une épopée musicale onirique et chargée d'émotions.

Photo : Ankhor

A l'instar d'une jam session, la musique d'Ankhor se veut houleuse, et absorbe l'auditeur dans une longue plongée ; des récifs azur jusqu'aux abysses les plus profondes, le groupe entremêle les genres musicaux tel le tumulte des flots, dont le groove et l'imaginaire en sont toujours ses courants majeurs.

Place: Haekem Theatre, rue de Laeken 66, 1000 Bruxelles

Doors open: 7pm
Concert: 8pm
Free entrance !
See you there !

You welcome
