Drawing Basses

Drawing Basses. Or also: basses who draw. No coincidence, because creator and bassist Kristof Roseeuw is keen to bring together multiple disciplines in stimulating, interactive performances. Special angle: this time the audience decides what will be played. Not by shouting a round of requests, but by providing the score for the performance.

An arsenal of instruments will transform the space into a true sound lab. A variety of drawing materials are on hand. After a brief explanation of the graphic score and approach to the performance, the audience chooses the materials and gets to work. They draw their score in which creativity, originality and spontaneity are keywords. The concert starts: the game between audience and the Drawing Basses can begin. The interpreted scores are displayed on clotheslines. They symbolize the evolution of this performance.

Experience how that translation happens, how different disciplines can shape each other, how surprising the result can be. Everyone – young and old, with or without musical background – can and may participate. Making music in its most accessibly and collectively. And…. you go home with your first graphic score. 

A concert in its most playful form!
