HWYUIOD

HWYUIOD are Shelter (Alan Briand), Orion (Tom Val) and Thomas Riguelle. Their debut album – recorded over two afternoons in November 2023 at Studio 121 – was released on the Les Disques Omnison label. It consists of four long improvisations, influenced by krautrock, fourth world, postpunk and free jazz.

In the words of Maximilien (Oedipe Purple): "a timeless tableau that draws from noise, German rock, pioneering techno and more; a non-jazz from learned folk who forget everything to continue a purifying ritual... Far from the machine, to find some magic within arm’s reach again”.

Jeugdbrand

Jeugdbrand is the dramatic, playful improv-combo of Dennis Tyfus (piano, guitar) and Jeroen Stevens (percussion and other instruments). Their latest work, 3 x hullo, hullo (released by Futura Resistenza), is a collection of fragmented snapshots within which strange sentences and musical ideas clash.

It is a series of disjointed sketches, in which emotions shift rapidly and the ride is anything but smooth. Boomkat previously described the duo as " dramatic and eccentric... Tyfus is at his best here, gasping and moaning as if he were entirely isolated, while Steven’s random organ sounds over slow-moving, sustained drones".

"A bit chaotic and improvised but done with a sure hand of doom – it puts everything you listen to in perspective – not only if you are way too serious about yourself, but also what kind of contract you signed up for in an existential sense." – FELTHAT
