What happens when two ensembles driven by curiosity meet?
Ensemble Fractales and Sweden’s Curious Chamber Players (CCP) join forces to explore new sonic landscapes, bending, stretching, and reimagining what music can be.
This playful programme features Malin Bång and Rei Munakata, regulars with CCP, alongside Pierre Slinckx and Jinwook Jung, familiar faces from the Brussels scene.
On the programme:
- In F#2, Pierre Slinckx sculpts the quirky, rhythmic world of the Casio keyboard with the same hands-on curiosity that has long guided his fusion of electronic and acoustic instruments.
- Rei Munakata turns to everyday objects: the scrape of a surface or the tap of a found item becomes part of a finely woven sound texture, revealing music as something crafted in the moment.
- In Structures of Molten Light, Malin Bång chisels fragments of city noise into intricate instrumental details, transforming the fleeting grit of urban life into a carefully shaped sound world.
- Jinwook Jung offers a contemporary reimagining of the myth of the Lotus-Eaters (Homer’s Odyssey), where sound and bodily movement intertwine to evoke forgetting, suspended time, and sensory addiction. The work feels carved from the myth itself, yet is shaped in the immediacy of performance.
Practical information:
- 14:00 – Museum: Musicians will be scattered among the historic instrument collection, offering short live “sneak previews.” (Museum ticket required)
- 15:00 – Concert hall: The two ensembles perform all four works in full. (Free entry)
An open and adventurous afternoon, celebrating shared discovery.
