Yoshihide/Pitsiokos + Van Herzeele/Galland

van herzeele/galland

Jeroen Van Herzeele - tenor & soprano saxophones, modular synthesizer

Stéphane Galland - drums, electronics

With this duo Jeroen Van Herzeele opens another chapter in his musical research. Using different settings, Jeroen and Stéphane experience live music in an interactive context, with multiple horns (tenor and soprano), overdubs, modular synths, drums and electronics, exhilarating dialogues around themes and metrics.

Being a big fan of his early 90s work with Stéphane and Peter Hertmans on the cd ‘At the Crossroads’ we’re extremely happy and excited with this new project on Walter's stage.

yoshihide/pitsiokos

Turntablist/guitarist Otomo Yoshihide, one of the most important members of the Japanese experimental/avant-garde, joins the ever genre-evading alto saxophonist/composer Chris Pitsiokos, who played a raving soloset at Walter last year. The prodigious shared vocabulary of the two spans the gamut between noise, free jazz, musique concrete, and scronk. Indeed, whatever sounds lurk behind the next corner are always unknown, but paradoxically feel inevitable once they have happened. We're honoured to have this duo as only Belgian venue on their tour schedule.
