Pianist Marta Warelis has a strong preference for improvisation and experiment in all kinds of styles, for ‘instant composing’ on the basis of new sounds and influences. She was born and raised in Poland, followed the conservatory in Groningen and has found her home in Amsterdam.
Drummer/producer Stefan Kruger is co-founder of successful Dutch bands such as New Cool Collective and Zuco 103. He has attracted international attention as the drummer and creative director of the Caro Emerald Band.
BIMLAB is an improv series in the BIMHUIS café with unexpected musical encounters. For every edition, two curators are selected from the members of the Union of Dutch Improvisers (BIM), who were once the BIMHUIS founders. The curators will invite musicians for an evening of short, adventurous sessions.
