Music on a Whim and Recyclart invites you into an evening of sonic spell casting, where layered drones and cycling rhythms stretch and dissolve the boundaries of temporality. Each performance unfolds as an invocation—of the mechanical and the organic, the ancient and the emergent—promising moments of raw intensity and unexpected beauty. Let yourself be enveloped in this space where sound becomes a living, breathing force.

Address – Recyclart, Rue de Manchester 13, 1080 Molenbeek-Saint-Jean
Doors – 7 30 pm
Tickets – 10 euros

Nour Sokhon (A/V performance) – Storytelling / Political / Experimental
Nour Sokhon is a Lebanese artist based between Beirut, Lebanon and Berlin, Germany. Her creative practice is centered around exploring different methods of working with artistic research including interview material, field recordings and recorded material from an organized site specific intervention. The research is then translated into sound/music compositions, performances, interactive installations and moving image work.
Beirut Birds (طيور بيروت) is a sonic memory capsule honoring (inter)personal stories of migration, displacement, and the cyclical turbulent circumstances in Lebanon. Transforming her multi-year project, multidisciplinary artist and composer Nour Sokhon crystallizes the performance Beirut Birds (طيور بيروت) into her long-awaited debut album. When presented and performed live, it is accompanied by juxtaposed images of the Lebanese capital’s city life and avian migration across the Mediterranean Sea, representing themes strongly woven into the music.

Acétylène – Alternative / Folk Trap / Experimental
Coming from distant worlds, these two activists of the experimental scene are meeting somewhere in the middle of a Brueghel painting. Lise Barkas, assured "sonneuse", and Yann Leguay, hijacked musician, cut and recompose the codes and sounds of a music that is said to be traditional. By crossing it with electronics, oscillators and bagpipes, rhythmic noises and hurdy-gurdy swirl , they unfold alongside textured hypnoses with a strong trance potential.
