Lennart Heyndels (BE)
Brussels-based and maker of genial and sometimes exquisite electronic sounds: Heyndels sees his music as something that can even make shy people dance: (well, a bit).
Hunter Complex
Haarlem’s answer to Vangelis? Maybe. In any case, expect sweeping, romantic synths, programmed BLEEPS and all sorts of 1980s cinematic CHUTZPAH. A fabulous "live thing". His last LP Airports and Ports received some gushing reviews, too…
‘Shuttles between ambient New Age, filmic nostalgia and improv exploration.’ **** (4) MOJO Magazine / ‘Airports and Ports by Hunter Complex is peerless, full of tranquility and sonic comfort’ ***** (5) de volkskrant
Jean De Lacoste works as a musician and a video artist, creating imaginative soundscapes that provoke "abstract emotions through the titillation of memories and fantasies". Jean D.L. collaborated with Karen Willems, Mauro A. Pawlowski, Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth) and MachineFabriek amongst others. Jean is joined on this night by compatriot, guitarist Jef Mertens. Expect beautiful / atonal sonic landscapes.
