4th instalment of the 'Koffie & Ambacht x Vrooom goes to church' series with four different live sets.
Dive into an Orphan Fairytale of auditory dreaminess, get entangled in Mayo's cassette tape salad and listen to the sounds of the historic Hess church organ, this time played by sound artist Bart van Dongen. Last but not least, Cengiz Arslanpay will reinterpret ancient Ottoman music in his soloset.

┆MAYO (Matthias Hurtl & Yoana Buzova)┆roffa / at/bg
Mayo is Matthias Hurtl (AT/NL) and Yoana Buzova (BG/NL). Together they perform with a multitude of cassette players and electronics; cutting, pasting, touching, licking, pulling, stretching and scratching the tape loops which they feed to these devices. The duo layer the resulting raw sound material with noise into an uncanny, imaginary magnetic tape landscape. Matthias is a sound artist who specializes in so-called signal hunting - a kind of recording practice that utilizes handmade tools and antennas, with which he hunts for satellite transmission signals. He uses his findings in compositions and live performances. Yoana is an artist and educator who seeks to resist imposed structures, beliefs and technologies. In her artist practice she employs the idea of 'uselessness', low-tech, DIY methods, and repurposed material to engage an audience in temporary fictions.

┆ORPHAN FAIRYTALE┆be
Orphan Fairytale (Eva van Deuren) is a artist/musician from Antwerp who has been making waves with a variety of surprising music projects since the turn of the millennium. She has been playing drums with Maskesmachine, experimented with tape loops in an outfit named Eekhoorn X, and was involved in Antwerp's bastion for freeform radio, Radio Centraal. The development of her own creative multiverse, along with the realisation that she had her own story to tell, led to the emergence of Orphan Fairytale, Eva's current musical project. Using keyboards, harp, flutes, voice, samples of drums, toy instruments and found objects, she creates a playful realm of dissociated musical dreaminess. New release out on Ultra Eczema soon!

┆CENGIZ ARSLANPAY┆nl
Cengiz Arslanpay is a multi-instrumentalist and composer whose work is characterized by smooth transitions between contemporary and folkloric musical spheres. He mainly plays the Nay (or 'Ney'; an end-blown flute that figures prominently in Middle Eastern music) and electronic synthesizers, though he is also familiar with the practise of other kinds of instruments from the Middle East. At Vrooom x Koffie & Ambacht, Cengiz will reinterpret ancient Ottoman music.
