The Japanese composer and saxophonist Yasuaki Shimizu, a leading figure in experimental music since the 1970s, has for several decades been creating work of rare freedom. Spanning jazz, electronic music, minimalism and classical music, he has collaborated with artists as diverse as Ryuichi Sakamoto, Helen Merrill and Towa Tei, whilst developing a deeply personal style. His reinterpretations of Bach’s Cello Suites on the tenor saxophone, recorded in venues with strong acoustic resonance, reflect a particular focus on space and on listening as a physical experience. In this brand-new live performance, Yasuaki is accompanied by his sister, Mieko Shimizu.

Unfortunately Dagmar Zuniga will no longer be able to perform. She has been unable to travel to Europe due to personal reasons.  We are, however, delighted to welcome Belgian pianist and producer maya dhondt.

Classically trained as a pianist, maya dhondt works at the intersection of music, performance and theatre. Through her voice, piano and distorted electronic textures, she creates fragmented, fluid compositions in which sounds transform and interact with one another.
