Haard

Deriving inspiration from the Cretan mountains, this Brussels based band brings free improvised music going from ear-tickling noise to meditative soundscapes and free jazz outbursts. The improvisations have a suite-like form, developing slowly, sometimes cutting fast from one idea to another, creating one long body of work. The self-titled album is a first encounter of Jordi Cassagne (double bass), Manos Barkatsas (guitar & fx), Stan Maris (accordion & fx) and João Lobo (drums).
