We're set for 2020. Join us at Klooster Oude Noorden for our first round of explorative music with Manirastar, Jos Smolders, Felicity Provan, Han Buhrs, Ada Rave, Harald Austbø, and Michael Vatcher. Poetic narratives, lyrical melodies, rhythmic momentum, and appearances by the Blippoo and the handpan.
┆FELICITY PROVAN 5TET┆int'l
Trumpeter and composer Felicity Provan is a household name in the Amsterdam improvisation scene. Poetic narratives, songs, and lyrical melodies with rhythmic momentum best describe her quintet. The music flows from solos to pieces and surprises with moments of group acapella. Playful and thoughtful with hints of the theatrical, these distinct personalities perform a vibrant sound mixing composition and improvisation, which can sound delicate as well as wild.
• Felicity Provan – cornet, voice
• Han Buhrs – voice
• Ada Rave – saxophone
• Harald Austbø – cello
• Michael Vatcher – drums

┆JOS SMOLDERS┆nl
Jos Smolders has been a mainstay of the Dutch electronic soundart scene for many years. He is a founding member of the renowned Dutch electroacoustic ensemble THU20. Tonight, his performance is based on the exciting sounds of the 'Blippoo'; a synth box handmade by Dutch designer Rob Hordijk (perhaps The Netherland's most famous synth & module builder) which offers a ton of possibilities for weird and tense improvisation.
