In the unique setting of AB’s main hall, Elisabeth Klinck presents her new album, Chronotopia.
Following her debut Picture a Frame (Hallow Ground, 2023), the Belgian electroacoustic artist now engages in a deeper dialogue with herself.
On Chronotopia, she takes a more song-oriented approach, embracing her voice as an essential counterweight to her violin. The album marks a significant turning point in her artistic development, opening up a rich inner world. It is a sonic tapestry spun from emotion and curiosity—both literally and figuratively—from her evolving voice.
Klinck, who works as a composer and performer in theatre, wrote the pieces in between tours and recorded the album in the same environment as her previous work: the Spanish Pyrenees, with producer Oscar Claus. While the outside world is not as explicitly reflected in the recordings as in Picture a Frame, her second album responds to it by capturing both the vast serenity of the mountains and the hectic pulse of life on the road. Where she previously embraced a more atmospheric and abstract approach, Klinck now creates a musical landscape built around the song, suffused with intimacy. Her music feels both vulnerable and deeply human, balancing the rawness of improvisation with the careful precision of melody-driven composition.
Klinck describes Chronotopia as a playful exploration of time—its fluidity, its constraints, and its influence on how we experience the world. These ideas resonate in her melodies and lyrics, shifting between moments of sparkling clarity and messy, beautiful chaos. These contrasts are heightened by the ingenious interplay between voice and violin, reflecting Klinck’s fascination with duality and transformation.
Recorded in both organic and controlled environments, Chronotopia blurs the line between intuition and design. The “timespace” Klinck invites her audience into is a place where sound feels like touch, time bends like light, and every moment carries the tension of discovery.
Ben Bertrand is a Belgian bass clarinetist and composer. With his instrument and countless machines, Ben creates his live sets with a hypnotic web of sounds.
The world he presents is a fusion of diverse influences built around traditional and ancestral music, and even current electronic music. Ben Bertrand skillfully bridges the gap between extreme modernity and references to the past.
On this evening, he will present his latest album Relic Radiation. The album has just been released on the Stroom label and is a true masterpiece.
