Alexandra DEMENTIEVA pour TUBULAR HEARING trio

Artiste créatrice d'oeuvres d'art VIDEO électroniques et d'installations

interactives, fille d'un scientifique, diplômée en 1985 de l'Université d'Etat des

Arts imprimés à Moscou et des Beaux-Arts à Watermael-Boitsfort, peintre et

dessinatrice, sculpteur, conférencière et enseignante à Bruxelles depuis 1990,

Alexandra plante aujourd'hui ses mini-caméras devant, sur et dans le saxebaryton

de Jean-Jacques et le violoncelle de José, improvisant des paysages

oniriques jouant avec les formes et les couleurs :

un spectacle audio-visuel comme vous n'en avez jamais vu.

La première aura lieu le 8 mai au Haekem Théâtre chez notre ami Gérard

DAVAL rue de Laeken 66, 1000 BXL à 20h30, ouverture dès 18h.


José BEDEUR pour TUBULAR HEARING trio

Plus vieux contrebassiste de jazz belge encore en activités,

José BEDEUR n'a jamais relégué le violoncelle de son conservatoire- à HUY

dans les années 50- et a profité du covid pour s'y remettre vraiment dès 2020.

C'est dans ces lointaines années 50 qu'avec le pianiste Léon LAFFUT et

feu le violoniste Jean-Marie MARCHOT ils exploraient déjà, non sans humour,

l'improvisation totale (sans thème, harmonies, ni tempo, ni distinction entre sons

musicaux et autres).

Sa préférence a toujours été les musiques improvisées.

Le livre de Michel MAINIL récemment paru sur lui « MEMORIES OF

YOU » relate en détails -parfois truculents- son riche passé sur ses 2 instruments

dans le théâtre, le cinéma et les concerts, entre autres au sein des Métarythmes

de l'Air du Montois Christian LEROY et des différents groupes Inaudible du

Bruxellois Guy STRALE.

Dans le tout nouveau TUBULAR HEARING trio, il peut enfin réunir sa

musique préférée et son instrument de toujours avec ses artistes chéris :

J.J.M.C. DUERINCKX qui a su avec son saxe-baryton se libérer de tous les

clichés et préjugés limitants de notre caste, et Alexandra DEMENTIEVA,

vidéaste expérimentée et toujours en recherches, qui à nos oreilles vaste ouvertes

ajoute l'ouverture de nos yeux sur des paysages oniriques.


JJ DUERINCKX aka Maurice Charles JJ (B)
Saxophoniste sopranino et baryton.
Pratique l'improvisation depuis plus de 20 ans.
De nombreux musiciens renommés du monde de la musique improvisée libre jalonnent sa carrière, tels que Lol Coxhill, John Russell, Michel Doneda, Barre Philips, Jacques Foschia, Tom Jackson, Adrian Northover, José Bedeur, Matthieu Safatly, Tatsuya Nakatani, Peter Jacquemyn, Roger Turner, Dan Warburton, Anton Mobin... pour n'en citer que quelques-uns.
Sensible aux arts visuels, il s'intéresse à la musique électro-acoustique, à l'art sonore et plus
particulièrement à la notion de "soundscapes" concept cher au compositeur R Murray Schaffer dans son livre "The Tuning of the world". L'idée de confronter matière sonore et mélodies abstraites ou non constitue une des bases de son langage musical ainsi qu'un vecteur d'énergie à partager.
En 2018, il fonde « Unreal Brotherface » avec le compositeur acousmatique Stephan Dunkelman, qu'il rencontre en 2004 au sein de Zohara, un ensemble créé par Zahava Seewald produit par John Zorn (Tzadik, 2004) dans lequel il a joué. Unreal Brotherface a participé entre autres à la City Sonic Winter session 2019 et aux Belgian Music Days 2020. MxSx, son duo avec Dimitri Coppe a vu le jour à Flagey lors de la Semaine du Son 2022 et constitue un hommage au compositeur récemment décédé.
La confrontation de son expertise sonore avec d'autres modes d'expression artistique comme les arts visuels, la performance, la danse contemporaine, reste essentielle à sa recherche artistique. Il participe au CEPI fondé par le contrebassiste Barre Philips. 
Collaborations entre autres avec Harold Schellinx, Patricia Kuypers, Frank Beaubois, Pascale Gille, Stéphanie Auberville, Isako Horikawa, Peter M. Friess...
En 2015, il rencontre l'artiste multimédia Alexandra Dementieva avec qui il joue dans le duo 'Tunnel Hearing' récemment rejoint par le violoncelliste/ contrebassiste José Bedeur.
En mars 2020, en pleine pandémie, il crée le Lamaφ (lamaphi), un groupe protéiforme pluridisciplinaire, réunissant danseurs, musiciens et vidéastes.
Il est à la base du lab'OMFI : un laboratoire expérimental transdisciplinaire qui s'est tenu aux Halles St Géry à Bruxelles de 2017 à 2019.
Il est fondateur du collectif OMFI (2011/2019) avec le violoncelliste Matthieu Safatly et créé en 2018 le groupe Neptunian Maximalism avec le guitariste multi instrumentiste Guillaume Cazalet.
