The ‘cordless quartet’ is anchored in a direct dialogue between trumpet\, saxophone\, double bass\, and drums\, with the music unfolding spontaneously through mutual interaction and shared exploration of sound. The project also features avant-garde veteran Gerald Cleaver as a special guest\, an American musician with a long list of credits and a strong presence on the contemporary jazz scene. \nAbout arist-in-residence:\nLenart De Bock (SI\, BE) \nSaxophonist\, composer\, and improviser Lenart De Bock is best known as the leader of his quintet\, co-leader of the Soothsayer trio\, and a member of the Zhlehtet collective. An exceptionally prolific young artist\, De Bock has recently focused on developing a distinctive musical voice characterized by a warm tone\, lyrical expressiveness\, and an openness to improvisation. In addition to his own projects\, he appears on several albums as a sideman\, and occasionally as a co-leader and co-composer. \nHe has performed and recorded with a number of renowned Slovenian and international jazz musicians\, including Jim Rotondi\, Rick Margitza\, Marko Črnčec\, Daniel Nösig\, and João Moreira. Lenart has appeared at major Slovenian festivals (Jazz Festival Ljubljana\, Jazz Cerkno\, Jazzinty\, among others) and has also toured in Brazil\, Austria\, and across Europe. \nThe centrepiece of his work as a composer is last year’s debut album A Plea for Tenderness\, which offers a vivid\, communal reflection on the jazz tradition as shaped\, for example\, in the more spiritual strands of artists such as the Art Ensemble of Chicago\, Alice Coltrane\, and Pharoah Sanders. At its core\, the album explores a predominantly flowing and tender spirituality\, articulated with exceptional precision\, refinement\, integrity\, and fervour\, and enriched by subtle inflections of classical and folk music.\nAs this year’s festival resident artist\, De Bock will present two brand-new projects: a quartet and a percussion ensemble[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1774520466972{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl7-NFoeSAw&list=RDcl7-NFoeSAw&start_radio=1″ css=”.vc_custom_1778059609845{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ca0cp5lE72E&list=RDca0cp5lE72E&start_radio=1″ css=”.vc_custom_1778059594594{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aUXsVPFoRg&list=RD-aUXsVPFoRg&start_radio=1″ css=”.vc_custom_1778059576502{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1774520466972{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_column_text css=””][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

One name that immediately comes to mind is South Korean drummer Sun-Mi Hong\, who has been based in the Netherlands for over a decade.. \nWhile devoting most of her creative energy to her quintet (with which she released her latest album Fourth Page: Meaning of a Nest last year)\, Sun-Mi Hong performs and records in a wide range of contexts\, from tightly composed works to free improvisation. A particularly distinctive aspect of her output is the unconventional Bida Orchestra. In recent years\, Hong has travelled extensively across Europe\, engaging with diverse musical scenes and further expanding her artistic language; this experience directly informs the project. \nIt was created in 2023\, when BIMHUIS Productions commissioned her to write a new work for the REFLEX series\, which invites musicians to reflect on society and the world as they perceive it. Drawing on scenes from her dreams\, Hong composed the highly dynamic\, intense\, and unpredictable opus Invisible Ropes. \nShe has brought together five versatile musicians – improvisers from diverse stylistic backgrounds\, or rather a first-rate constellation of distinctive musical personalities. Three wind instruments\, double bass\, piano/synthesiser\, and drums form a lineup that\, partly owing to the individual voices of its members\, opens up seemingly endless – at times extreme – possibilities in texture and dynamics. A whirlwind of sound that shifts the ground beneath our feet\, described by Sun-Mi Hong herself as moving “from linear serenity to choppy waters and blood-curdling screams”.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1774520466972{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/rzYuz8WGDks?is=I4WQWXOxG6CwygO6″ css=”.vc_custom_1778498715152{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/9tzS5Ghy4jE?is=EiDEHChby22Gbd7f” css=”.vc_custom_1778498727638{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/live/OkoquTSnrko?is=gx4oPDiSRapukHpf” css=”.vc_custom_1778498740482{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1774520466972{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_column_text css=””][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

What is time? What is silence? How malleable is time? Perhaps we can even travel to the future and the past with the help of music?” \nThese are the questions at the core of the new project by the unrivalled epitome of pianism – or\, without exaggeration\, a true piano legend – Aki Takase. Her life’s journey has taken her from Tokyo to the United States and Berlin; as early as the 1980s\, she collaborated with figures as eminent as John Scofield\, Lester Bowie\, and Dave Liebman\, and in the 1990s performed extensively with David Murray and Reggie Workman\, among others. Her credentials are simply too extensive to enumerate here.\nCollaborations are therefore an essential\, almost indispensable principle of Takase’s creative process. When she encountered her former student Daniel Erdmann at a Paris airport\, a musical partnership emerged spontaneously. They began as a duo and soon expanded into an enlarged musical organism: the exceptional quintet JAPANIC. \nNow they are taking things even further\, moving toward the “Timeless Orchestra.” It is an ensemble of cross-generational musicians. It is both a project of passing on experience to younger generations and a project of projection: where is our music heading? What is happening now\, and what might the future bring? Linear time is interrupted as the finest elements of the past are connected with visions of the future at the crux of the present. “Timeless” thus becomes an open structure that invites young musicians to collaborate with their older peers. An extravagant avant-garde initiative![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1774520466972{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqLvGUkBclQ” css=”.vc_custom_1778060964623{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOV5hsrgoZE” css=”.vc_custom_1778060979235{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”” css=”.vc_custom_1777979754399{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1774520466972{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_column_text css=””][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
