HOQUETS is an artisan collaboration of music and art based in Brussels based on creating a language based on simple instrumentation based on reused or self constructed materials based on the search for the musicality of everyday objects. This collaboration unites the various research that each member of the group had been and is currently involved with. During the residency at Q-O2, HOQUETS envisions furthering the experimentation and development of autonomous musical shapes, which come together to make a whole, complete automusical entity. Fascinated with the Fibonacci sequence, the Chartreuse liquor and the history of the Belgian state, HOQUETS hope to share their findings with you.
HOQUET : Procédé rythmique qui consiste à répartir une à une entre plusieurs voix ou instruments en alternance les notes d'une ligne mélodique. Apparu vers la fin du XIIIe siècle, le hoquet connut une grande vogue dans l'Ars nova du XIVe siècle, où il fut surtout utilisé comme « coda » dans les parties terminales ; de moins en moins employé par la suite, il disparut à peu près de la polyphonie vers 1530. On en retrouve un équivalent moderne dans certaines formules d'accompagnement orchestral dites « contre-temps », introduites dans la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle. La symphonie classique ou l'opéra verdien ne dédaignent pas d'en faire usage, mais c'est surtout dans les musiques militaires ou les orphéons que s'est implantée sa suprématie. On a parfois donné le nom de « hoquet » comme titre à certaines pièces du XIVe siècle qui en faisaient usage ; l'un des plus célèbres est le Hoquet David de Guillaume de Machaut, comportant 2 voix riches en hoquets sur une 3e voix en teneur. (Extrait du Dictionnaire de la Musique, Larousse, 2005)

I am an intermedia artist who translates possibilities into reality. I come from a combination of traditional education and self-directed learning & life experiences. This composite of knowledge allows me to express and develop ideas skillfully through various media. I work primarily with music, installations, graphic design, textiles, & film. The unifying factor in the work is that of giving form to, and sharing the present: the ephemeral moment. My projects range from personal, autobiographical projects, to large scale cooperative installations.
My collaborative projects transform reality by building communities and architectures that give a plastic form to the limited time and temporary societies in which they are created. My personal projects seek to document my momentary experiences on this earth, to share with fellow human beings, and to manufacture items for which I have immediate need such as hats, clothes or bags.
My projects are always based on the materials at hand and people who work with me. My goal is to make art that is a learning experience for myself and those who collaborate with me.
