BOOK OF AIR: 'Fieldtone'- Laydown concert

Description

Book of Air: Fieldtone

The sound to be found in nature has a very slow groove. A groove embedded by silence. Because of this slowness, the groove can almost only be felt when spending a few hours in the nature at the sea, during a forest trip, in the desert, etc… It is this groove and the “silence” of nature that was an inspiration for the 'fieldtone' compositions. By embedding this silent slowness into the compositions, the details of the sounds played become much more prominent.
The music is performed by an ensemble of string instruments (baltic harp- kankles, guitars, double bass) supplemented with colors of drums.

BOOK OF AIR is one of the projects of granvat (the platform curated by Bert and Stijn Cools). BOOK OF AIR exists out of different series. This time the music of the first BOOK OF AIR series 'fieldtone' will be performed. Fieldtone refers to the term Roomtone: roomtone is the “silence” recorded at a location or space when no dialogue is spoken, this recorded silence is used during audio and video productions. The compositions of 'fieldtone' are inspired by the "room" of nature and the tempo of nature. In this way the silence itself, amplifies the sounds that are played.

Stijn Cools: drums & compositions,
Indre Jurgeleviciuté: kankles
Benjamin Sauzereau: electric guitar
Bert Cools: electric and acoustic guitars
Nathan Wouters: double bass
