Haekem: Chance2tliwosc - April Thursday 6th - 8PM

Drums and reacting Synths Interactions.

And back!

April Thursday 6th 8PM

Haekem rue de Laeken 66 1000 Brussels

"Chance2tliwosc is a (stupid) pun with the Polish word częstotliwość meaning 'frequency'. My approach is to make improvised music with an acoustic drum set that is not just drumming music or interesting for drummers.

I have developed a set up with acoustic drums and synthesizers.
The latter begin to sound when the drums are played, i. e. they react to the drums' sounds and noises. And i, then, react on the sounds from the synthesizers, which i can not foresee. So, it's an interaction between me on drums and the synths. What comes out is experimental electronic- acoustic music, noisy, playful, quiet, obscure...

* I've put some recent demos on soundcloud:

https://soundcloud.com/tliwosc/sets/demos

* An earlier album has been released on Spanish tape label Mascarpone Discos entitled "corriger la fortune a 4 mains":
https://mascarponediscos.bandcamp.com/album/corriger-la-fortune-a-4-mains"

Pls look at: https://vimeo.com/803094668. A short recording after Chance2tliwosc arrived at OSSO in Portugal for a residency stay. Muito obrigado a todos @OSSO!

Un Nouveau Duo

Un nouveau duo (encore sans nom) : dès leur première rencontre un déclic s’est produit entre eux que le duo essaye de perpétuer. La musique, surtout improvisée, est un amalgame des diverses expériences vécues au cours de leurs riches existences de musicien.


Pierre BERNARD flûte

Né à Léopoldville, Zaïre, Pierre suit une formation de musique classique au Conservatoire Royal de Liège, où il obtient le premier prix pour flûte traversière et musique de chambre. Il y suit également un cours de techniques d’improvisation sous la conduite de GARRETT LIST et fait partie de Garrett’s LA GRANDE FORMATION.

Via le KAAI club, lieu culte Bruxellois, il est de plus en plus impliqué dans le jazz avant-garde et autres expériences.

Il a travaillé / travaille encore entre autres avec RÊVE D’ELEPHANT ORCHESTRA, ERIC VERMEULEN, KRIS DEFOORT, AKA MOON, OCTURN et plus récemment LES CANARIS DES MINES.


Mike GOYVAERTS batterie, percussions, sonorités acoustiques

Se fait connaître comme improvisateur au milieu des années 80 par son entrée dans le W.I.M. Anversois (Werkgroep Improviserende Musici) sous la conduite du pianiste FRED VAN HOVE et dans les années 90 en collaborant avec l’asbl Bruxellois INAUDIBLE.

Il s’occupe alors de multiples projets, aussi bien musicaux que multi-culturels, et, même s’il travaille le plus souvent dans des formules ponctuelles, sa préférence va quand-même vers les projets à long terme comme le projet Belge/Allemand CANARIES ON THE POLE (2002), TROMMELTRIO (2008) et COOLI’BRISE (2014).

Il joue en solo dans “RANDOMATICS” et organise des concerts à petite échelle de musiques expérimentales et improvisées sous le nom de RESONARE.

Audrey Lauro

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.

NOAHSTAS (noise sculpting)
Bence Barta is a visual and sound artist from Budapest. NOAHSTAS was born in 2014 as a sonic offshoot of his visual art practices, then it became a self-contained entity. Built from the dynamics between repression-breakout, control-loss of control, lots of feedback, analog synths and pulsations, disintegrating tape loops and dark spatial atmosphere. "Melodic, narrative noise" somewhere between power electronics, rhythmic noise, drone, musique concrète and post-industrial. First two recordings came out on his own now ceased label, CYST records, the latest album "Black Bile" released in 2021 by EXILES on cassette and digital.
He performed aside many venues of Hungary, in Helsinki, Poland and Bratislava, with Aetheral Arthropod, Alley Catss, Carrageenan, Danse Musique Rhône-Alpes, Lafidki, Mai Mai Mai, M Ax Noi Mach, Mike Nylons, Pisitakun, Új Bála,
