ASRA (RAYMOND DIJKSTRA & TIMO VAN LUYCK)
Highly anticipated Live performance by a duo that features perhaps the most interesting Dutch abstract, atonal music artist of recent times, Raymond Dijkstra. Teaming up with Timo van Luyck (of Af Ursin and Noise-Maker's Fifes - fame), the pair display a distinct love for acoustic sound. Asra extract sounds from the bowels of a real piano, combined with tuba, wineglasses, monochord, flute and effects. Without backing tapes, they attain a form that goes largely unmatched.
PUIN+HOOP
Young and upcoming trio from somewhere between Amsterdam and Utrecht that is all about sonic exploration. With several tasty cd productions under their belt, the aptly named Puin+Hoop create densely layered ambientesque music.
RORO
Hardcore punked drummer dude on the solo warpath. Well, skip that 'war' alltogether; Rogier's solo percussion pieces are about seemingly isolated droning sounds and atmospheres. For sure he won't be beating his skins along a plethora of riffs tonight...
AURIMAS BAVARSKIS & MINTD
Aurimas Bavarskis and Mintd (Yiannis Tsirikoglou) are students of the Institute of Sonology in the Royal Conservatory in The Hague where their ways met. They form a duo that explores immense sonic possibilities by employing a great deal of digital tools and analogue devices like VLF receivers and sensors. Driven by many musical ideas they attempt to unfold their new artistic attributes and find new ways of improvising and making music.
