dOeK FESTIVAL #4 CELLULE D’INTERVENTION METAMKINE ERIC BOEREN 4TET TRIO FUHLER/NAKAMURA/AMBARCHI

dOek #4 is a festival put together by musicians against trends and watching out for new currents in improvisation. A festival that aims for a balance between old friends and new faces, between cutting edge and more familiar sounds. DOek#4 opens with film- and sound makers of Metamkine, who use their projectors, old Korg synthesizers and tape recorders as instruments and perform together like musicians do. Improvisation with image and sound. Eric Boeren’s quartet adopts its setting from the classical Ornette Coleman group and initially played mainly his music. Gradually, Boeren’s own compositions took over, also with solid roots in the jazz tradition dominated by strong melodies. On drums this time, Paul Lovens, one of the founders of the European free jazz. At the end of the evening, a voyage of discovery will be performed through a soundscape. Nakamura (Japan) creates sounds that are stripped of any human emotion. His no-input mixing board, his own invention, is fed with his own sounds. The Australian Ambarchi uses his guitar as an electronic laboratory with which he creates a world of flowing, serene sounds. Cor Fuhler, who put this trio together, uses a whole range of objects to remove the sound of the piano from its standing expectations.
