Lukas, Suzan, Victor and Andrés are all Brussels based artists with a practice ranging within/and/or/around contemporary classical and experimental music, improvisation and sound art — Lukas and Victor perform together as Ï Î, Victor and Andrés created Grey and Grey Extended, Suzan performs often solo or in different settings and is studying a master program on Live Electronics at the KCB.
For this residency at q-o2 they will work together on how to re/create an un-scored collaborative composition keeping an spontaneous dynamic while still developing ideas. There is a certain fragility about working in a quartet. Already the timbers of the instruments: viola, accordion, percussion, organ/aulos/pipes; are constantly on and off balance, at times merging together in tones and overtones, other times being distinctively four independent voices. And also the fact of composing collaboratively, blurring the roles of composer/interpreter into the collective.
