Blood Cloud
Guitarist Jasper Stadhouders’s impro band.
Blood Cloud started as an improvisational unit in 2017. In 2018 they played at the DOEK festival This is Our Music, then took a two-year break and returned to the DOEK Festival LIVE! (2020). The band now plays compositions by Cor Fuhler and Sanne van Hek, as well as pieces by the band members themselves. Their repertoire continues to expand with new compositions and, automatically speaking, improvisations.
The name Blood Cloud is inspired by a Turkish-German man named Bulut, whom Stadhouders once met in Berlin. Bulut means cloud in Turkish. However, if you swallow the first u, it means blood in German.
