Jürgen de Blonde & Brecht Ameel’s first musical meeting was as choirboys of choice for a Hermann Nitsch organ recital on a frostbit afternoon.
Inspired by the meeting of heaven and hell on that event, they decided to explore their own sense of kosmotheoric wonder through a minimal setup of baritone guitar and synth, combined in a protocol of kaleidoscopic sludge and weird minor tunings.
Inspired by Tomita at his dreamiest and Bohren & der club of Gore at their moodiest, the world of Kohier is as slow and psychotropic as a late night patrol car in the parallel universe of 1980s Brussels. For their ateliers claus show on the 14th of april, multi-limbed drummer and improv veteran Dirk Wachtelaer will be added to the mêlée

This event is is a collaboration between Ancienne Belgique & les ateliers claus
