Haekem: We Earth Neurons - April Thur 20th AND Frid 21th



@Haekem Theatre Lakensestraat/rue de Laeken, 66 - 1000 Brussels 
on April 20th & April 21th, improvised music, electro and expos

2 days Event: We Earth Neurons

More than 20 years ago I created and developed with my team AI driven medical training courses. "AI Patients" were able to speak, have and show emotion, suffer or recover and be happy or not!

MDs were able making their own diagnosis and treatment entering all the physical, exams and could prescribe additional tests if deemed necessary.

AI was able to manage patient life in all aspects, following medical guide lines and Experts experience. AI drive what will happen.
Were we a bit in advance? No. 
AI progresses are really slow!

This expo is dedicated to AI progresses. Music, visuals, writing, speaking have never be so fluent, so creative. Poetry appears.

Long life to AI! And thanks to Rinus, Omar, Vladimir and all the artists present these two days for their amazing work.

You are welcome.

April 20th AND April 21th
Installation 1: *The New Interactive Womb*
The "Interactive Womb" is an art science project created by a team of artists and researchers
at the University of Leuven, Belgium. The project aims to provide visitors with a simulated experience of being in a womb, using multisensory technology to create a fully immersive environment.
The project involves a large, translucent, foamy biological structure rising the long-lost memory of the Womb, which visitors can enter. Once inside, visitors can interact with a range of sensory stimuli, including light, sound, smell and touch, that simulate the experience of being in a womb.
The creators of the project hope that it will provide visitors with a new perspective on the meaning-of-life and encourage discussion about the role of technology in the immortalization and rejuvenation of the human body.
Overall, the "Interactive Womb" project is an extremely innovative and thought-provoking combination of art and science that has the potential to induce a positive psychosis in human subjects or Alternative State of Mind.( Session 19' more or less)



Installation 2: "NeuReunion"
Installation 2: "NeuReunion" by omiCrobe, a collection of 333 animated contemporary works of
art: a playful exploration on the fusion of biology and technology, produced with AI assistance and published on the blockchain as nft. (mp4, 768x768)
We delve into the mysteries of the mind, exploring the depths of consciousness and the intricacies of thought, illuminating the human experience through the lens of art. In this age of artificial intelligence, we are forced to confront some of the most profound questions about what it means to be human. AI forces us to think about intelligence, consciousness, what is identity, what is an individual, what makes us human. Through our art, we explore these questions and seek to deepen our understanding of what it means to be human. We believe that art has the power to inspire and challenge us, to open our minds to new possibilities and to unlock the full potential of human creativity. By engaging with these questions and exploring the mysteries of the mind, we seek to create art that is both meaningful and transformative, inspiring others to join us in this exploration and to contribute their own unique perspectives and insights to the conversation. Our art reflects the richness and diversity of the human experience, and it is through this diversity that we can embrace this visionary future.

& more surprises!

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.
