𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲 𝗗𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿 is a Brussels-based improviser and founder of the collective g a b b r o. She combines a warm, physical approach to sound with an exploratory expression. She applies this in collaborations with Steve Swell, Terrie Ex, Signe Emmeluth, Jakob Bro, and Paal Nilssen-Love. In her solo work, she explores the physical power of the baritone saxophone as a sound body that breathes, rubs, and vibrates. With this solo, De Backer investigates the power of playing alone: how a single voice can fill, challenge, and embrace an entire space.
With Everyday Magic Ensemble (EME), 𝗘𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘀 explores resonance – within ourselves, between each other, and with the surrounding space. The foundation lies in scores from his artistic research On Resonance and techniques developed over 35 years of musical practice: a celebration of sound, movement, and collaboration in the moment. During the residency week at Walter, EME creates new ways for the environment to resonate along. Six musicians build layers of sound and echo, with particular attention to the human voice as an instrument.
Additionally, Thielemans develops a new work for solo percussion and voices, inspired by lamentations: intense, expressive dialogues between sound and voice. Powerful and direct.
Chantal Acda (voice, keyboards), George Van Dam (violin), Simon Lenski (cello), Fre Madou (bass), Jeroen Stevens (marimba), Eric Thielemans (percussion, samples, live electronics) // Hanne De Backer (baritone saxophone, bass clarinet)
