Minorie presents Delphine Dora, Koude, Lucija Gregov & Boronat, JT Boogaard

Minorie presents… an evening curated by Michel Klein…
Four acts operating at the crossroads of folk, ambient and experimental music. Delphine Dora is a cult figure, a special force and mainstay in the European avant-folk scene while Lucija Gregov & Bernat Boronat are two important players in the improv world who join forces with long sustained sounds on cello and bass clarinet. Koude is a new trio but with familiar faces, presenting their first album filled with quiet and slow(core) reverb folk ambience. The evening is glued together with ambient sounds by JT Boogaard, playing his own work as well as that of others.

Delphine Dora
Delphine Dora is a prolific pianist and improviser from France. An eclectic explorer of language and sound, Delphine is one of the most interesting figures on the European avant-folk scene, capable of forging a musical universe in constant metamorphosis. Her work uses several languages (English, French, German, Russian, imaginary languages) and genres such as minimalism, improvisation, electroacoustic and folk. Equally at home with old pipe organs, synthesizers and keyboards, she explores the intuitive and subconscious in folk music, both abstract and real. Close to Christina Carter, Brigitte Fontaine and Meredith Monk, Delphine Dora evokes the American minimalists as much as Satie and Debussy.

2026 sees the releases of instrumental album L’ineluctable pulsation du temps and La Lune.

Koude
The subdued music of Koude combines elements of free folk, drone, ambient and slowcore. Through this work, Michiel Klein, Keimpe Koldijk en Ester Venema build on their previous collaborations in acts such as Blessum (Vrystaete), Eklin (Night People) and Mike Koldin (Samling). The trio makes use of electric guitar, bass guitar, synthesizer, minimal percussion and vocals. Koude’s debut album will be released on Minorie in April.

Lucija Gregov & Bernat Boronat
Cellist Lucija Gregov and clarinetist Bernat Boronat make music with a palpable sense of open space. Drawing on their mutual fascination for drones, multiphonics, improvisation and extended instrumental sounds the duo’s sonic exploration unfolds in an unhurried pace with a compulsive sense of continuity. In this ongoing collaboration, Lucija and Bernat keep expanding on ways in which cello and bass clarinet come together, often sounding as one instrument, only to gradually drift apart and occupy a distinctive sonic space of one’s own.

J.T. Boogaard
