SILENCE IS SEXY …

… draws the curtains. No Tragedy. The story has been told. New sounds glisten on the horizon. We are proud to have given, since ’11, extra attention to contemporary classical composers who candidly flirt with electronica. In retrospect, the list is quite impressive: Ludovico Einaudi, Ryuichi Sakamoto w/ Alva Noto, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Hauschka, Dustin O’ Halloran, Nils Frahm, A Winged Victory For The Sullen, Lubomyr Melnyk, Greg Haines, Christina Vantzou,… Leading labels like Erased Tapes (with a real expo), Denovali Records and 130701 (Fat Cat) were a point of focus too.

SILENCE IS SEXY – GOING OUT W/ A BANG!

CURATED BY ADAM WILTZIE (A WINGED VICTORY FOR THE SULLEN)

We'll be ending in style and beauty, of course. With a contrary bang too (or did you think that Ben Frost would ever sticks to the rules?). None less than Adam Wiltzie (A Winged Victory For The Sullen) proposed being guest curator. A gesture we were more than happy to act upon. The result: a mini-festival that got out of hand.

ON THE PROGRAMME…

A Winged Victory For The Sullen couldn't be missing as bandleader, of course, and Australian Icelander Ben Frost will symbolically (read: literally) see to it that Silence Is Sexy ends with a bang. Dutch lute player Jozef Van Wissem and Icelandic cellist Hildur Gudnadottir will play several intimate sets in the AB Club, throughout the festival. http://vimeo.com/67426859
We are also proud to present the Belgian stage debut of The Group, the collaborative project of Efterklang frontman Casper Clausen and Greg Haines. http://vimeo.com/84682041
We're also looking forward to the unique collaboration between Robert Hampson (Loop) and video artist Christina Vantzou. French Brussels-resident Sylvain Chauveau does his thing with a ten-member orchestra, named 0, and Belgium's Illuminine had the honour of recording their deubt last year in the studios of Sigur Rós.
