Teun

Teun first picked up the drums by the age of eight and starting 1999 became one of the most in demand sideman in lots of different bands and musical styles in no time. His search for a personal touch and wanting to explore all possibilities of playing music and drums, his lack of boundaries and styles and trying to find fresh sounds and freedom in collective improvisation made him work (as sideman)with:
Alexi Tuomarila 4tet and Trio
Jef Neve Trio

VVG trio

Teun goes on tour with some of these bands a lot. 

Andrew

Andrew Claes started playing the classical guitar at the age of 9, adding electric bass a few years later. Upon hearing John Coltrane for the first time, he decides to focus solely on the tenor sax. 

After his studies, he goes for a full-time musical career. His broad musical taste opens doors into a motley variety of groups and ensembles: from BRZZVLL’s electronic jazz fusion, the present-day jazz of Hamster Axis and the one-click Panther, over the psychedelic electronics of Internal sun to STUFF’s futuristic nu-soul.

You can already listen to them live with added musicians on ORT010 and ORT012.

Already released as a cd on Rat Records here.

ODG039 : Tadash / Shadow of Dreams

ODG039 : Tadash / Shadow of Dreams

Tadash is a sonor manufacture created by Cyrod Iceberg (see ODG038 here) and Clément Malherbe.
Those two French musicians are found of urban sounds which they mix with psychedelic synthesizers, dark Italian melodic curves, new-wave basses, post-punk drums and fantomatic voices.
This album was recorded, mixed and mastered at home between 2012 and 2014.
Balancing between typically pre new-wave pop songs (Commère La Mort) to French pop (Nikon) and French modern new-wave (Un étant donné) to melancholic movie music (Toujours La Même Histoire), ambient (Ailleurs d'en Face) or dark wave folk (Ulo).
At times it remind you of a lot of different bands, genres and periods but at the end they definitively find their self identity behind this wall of sounds which happens to be also a very visual music.
A discovery!
