In 2017 the 2 young, terribly talented jazz musicians Hendrik Lasure & Casper Van de Velde (SCHNTZL) came to record their eponymous (and critically acclaimed) debut album with producer Koen Gisen at La Patrie Studioâs in Ghent.
Singer Songwriter An PierlĂ©, Gisenâs long-time partner in crime asked them if they wanted to join them on a new musical adventure.
In the simplest of Jazz Traditions this collaboration was aptly named the "An Pierlé Quartet".
They organized a musical 'bootcamp' in the MSK museum - where Pierlé is Artist in Residence - and Koen Gisen brought in his vintage and analogue gear to record the sessions, held in front of a wandering public.
It is a work in progress. PierlĂ©âs compositions are deliberately left completely open to leave enough room for experiment and improvisation. She plays piano and sings, Hendrik Lasure does synths & loops, Casper Van de Velde is his imaginative and colorful drumming self, and Koen Gisen glues everything together with his Bass Clarinet, sax & guitar
Versatile experimental pop music with a jazzy, improvisational twist, from wide-open stillness to expressive Brechtian Cabaret-like fun and noise, a new Band is born.
In the meantime An PierlĂ© Quartet made the music for âSylviaâ, a music theatre performance at the Brussels Theatre National, resulting in a cinematic âoperaâ inspired by the life of Sylvia Plath in collaboration with De Munt/ La Monnaie and Cie Artara, directed by Fabrice Murgia. They are touring internationally through 2019 & 2020.
