7:00 pm - SOUNDTRACK BY… bl13pdj

8:30 pm - JACASZEK (Poland)
Exquisitely enchanting music! We first came into contact with Jacaszek from Poland through the album ‘Treny’ (from ’08) that blew our way, an absolute gem released via the Norwegian label Miashmah. Influential webzine Boomkat got everyone keen with the following description: “Arvo Part, the soundtracks for Kieslowski movies, Deaf Center, Max Richter, Erik Satie, … - if you are familiar and in awe of any or all of these names then this album will no doubt end up on your essential listening pile for the foreseeable future.” JACASZEK is in fact Michael Jacaszek, producer and maker of electro-acoustic music. The result? Pure beauty. Or: heart-stopping electronica supplemented by cello and violin. In the meantime there is already another new album: ‘Pentral’ was recorded in a number of gothic churches in Gdansk that makes the sound come across more strongly. But it remains exquisite music. Now isn't it just that kind of music that is appropriate for the Feeërieën?

9:45 pm - BRISKEY (b)
“It strikes one as a cosmopolitan night album that calls up images of wet-rained streets and obsessional desires.” (De Morgen)
“The album is constantly intriguing as a listen-trip.” (De Standaard)

The third studio-album from Ghent's Briskey, ‘Before – During – After’, was released earlier this year. Right away Briskey’s most adventurous and personal album to date. Fewer beats than in the past, but with a particularly sultry night-time character and a sturdy jazz disposition. The Cinematic Orchestra is not far off. Briskey is, as always, the project of musical glutton Gert Keunen, who was also able to convince Lady Linn to sing along on the album. AB and Briskey are certainly no strangers to each other either… So it was that last year the live record ‘Live At The Ancienne Belgique’ was released by Briskey Big Band (as which they even appeared at Jazz Middelheim in ’07), at the time opener to (there they are again) The Cinematic Orchestra. Their versatility is their virtue. It presents no problem for Briskey to appear in clubs like 4AD, at the famous Ghent Jazz and also in art centres like the Stuk in Leuven... and now lovely too as closer for the Feeërieën ’09! With an appropriate, rather minimal set.
