BAUM - HENDRIKE SCHARMANN
|
There has been harvested.
The seed has sprouted. Ramifications. Countless influences But strong roots. Here, everything flows together into one tree. Reaching for the sun. Exposed to its environment, the seasons. Exposed for you. |
After a period of traveling Hendrike Scharmann planted a fragile but solid tree right in her basement in Brussels. She started to create sound landscapes planting melodies and harmonies, letting them grow until they started to move with the wind. As found in nature disorder and structure meet as well as coincidence and predestined forms.
Her music floats between eclectic ambient, experiment and stubborn pop fragments, using violin, voice, guitar, synths, oud and more. This is accompanied by homemade visuals. |

PABLO'S EYE
|
Pablo’s Eye is an international collective of musicians and artists who share a vision to make magic through music. 2019, coincidentally, marks the 30th year of Pablo's Eye's loose existence. Back in the 1990s, Pablo's Eye were signed to Swim~ records and Extreme records but the project was relatively dormant in its recorded output throughout the 2000s until 2018, when Ziggy Devriendt began curating a series of 3 anthologies volumes for his Stroom〰 heritage label one of which 'Bardo for Pablo' received a glowing review on Pitchwork – and the coveted banner of 'Best New Reissue.' Brussels-based producer and founder member Axel Libeert on keyboards & sound devices will be performing with recent collaborator Hendrike Scharmann aka BAUM on violin, voice and synth. A perfect combination for bringing Pablo's Eye's music live. Sampled sounds, electronics as well as acoustic instruments have always been a strong part of the sound of Pablo's Eye. |

PICEA ORIENTALIS
|
Picea Orientalis is a string orchestra that brews Western and Eastern music traditions. Western structures, harmonies and bow techniques, together with middle Eastern and balkan ornaments and improvisations, form the DNA of the orchestra. The uniqueness of the orchestra stems from the diversity of its members, and the openness to uncharted musical paths and new trajectories. Picea Orientalis aims above all to build bridges between various music worlds and various audiences.

PHENOMENAL WOMAN (music theater)
|
It's in the reach of my arms,
The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I’m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman (Maya Angelou) In ‘Phenomenal Woman’ rekenen drie vrouwen af met hun verleden. Een Rwandese, een Marokkaanse en een Nepalese vrouw voeren elk hun eigen gevecht, maar in hun gevecht hebben ze één ding gemeen: ze verzetten zich tegen de vooroordelen die mensen over hen hebben. De voorstelling is zowel een ode als een aanklacht. Wat doet migratie met vrouwen? Wat dragen ze generaties later nog met zich mee? Wat houd je vast? Wat laat je los? Welke botsingen brengen die keuzes met zich mee? ‘Phenomenal Woman’ is een multidisciplinaire theaterperformance waarin theaterelementen, spoken word en muziek samenvloeien. |

BOTANICAL BODIES
|
Botanical Bodies revisits the music of Hildegard von Bingen in a bold and contemporary encounter. This 12th century visionary, healer, botanist, feminist and composer not only created fascinating works of vocal music while being tormented by migraines, these sufferings were at the source of her heavenly inspirations. For this reason the abbess is a key figure in the doctoral research on migraine music, by singer Mariske Broeckmeyer. Together with violinist, singer Hendrike Scharmann, Broeckmeyer brings together a group of musicians with the same fascination for the uncanny in a performance that reinterprets Von Bingen's music through free improvisation and an electroacoustic set-up.
