Razen
Brecht Ameel – oscillator and harmonium
Kim Delcour – recorders, reeds and shaker
From their debut in 2010 on, the Brussels-based Razen aimed at using the unique timbral and drone characteristics of their chosen string and wind instruments in improvised, instinctive music that mixes pre-industrial, spectral and ethnic dreamtones with trance and medieval mysticism.
Originally a duo of Brecht Ameel and Kim Delcour, over the past years Razen has grown into a larger ensemble, with the addition of Pieter Lenaerts on 5-string double bass and sarangi, Paul Garriau on hurdy-gurdy, and David Poltrock on ondes-Marthenot. The band has built a strong reputation in Belgium and abroad, both on their recorded output as with their ever-changing live shows.

Saisons
Alice Hebborn – composer and live electronics
Nao Momitani – piano
In “SAISONS”, electronics, piano, and sounds of nature merge to evoke the vastness of wild landscapes. All the sounds that make up these landscapes influence each other, transform, and complement each other, creating a moving whole, both stable and fragile. It is contemplative music, focused on the texture of sound and its micro-details, suspended and always maintained by a slight tension. I work with repetition, but a repetition never quite identical, always in continual transformation, like the elements of nature.
