SUMMARY:Julianna Barwick + Jan Swerts
LOCATION:AB Salon (Steenstraat 11\, 1000 Bruxelles)
DESCRIPTION:Soundtrack by: DJ Jasper         8:45 pm    Jan Swerts (be) \n  “Of a beauty that can barely be captured in words.”   \n(De Morgen)    “The man from Limburg has designed a sound\nthat fuses the nostalgia of pianists like Keith Jarrett\,\nWim Mertens and Philip Glass with the Spartan sound of\nsinger-songwriters like Mark Hollis and Nick Drake.”   \n(De Morgen)         You can't get a much more Flemish\nsounding name than Jan Swerts but his music is unearthly.\nThis minimal pianist from Limburg has also absorbed his\nheroes Wim Mertens\, Joni Mitchell and the entire wave of\ncontemporary classical indie composers like Jóhann\nJóhannson\, Max Richter and Hauschka. His self-released\ndebut ‘Weg’ (from ’10) received nothing but rave\nreviews. His second litter was released at the outset of\n‘12: ‘De Anatomie Van De Melancholie’\, by a major\nlabel at that. Something that only further emphasises the\ngeneral faith in this artist. This album – again with\namazing artwork – once more deals in awe inspiring beauty.\n   Behind the scenes\, AB has already been supporting Jan\nSwerts for more than a year\, in his search for the\ntransition from ‘recording artist’ to ‘live artist’.\nSwerts still considers performing as a ‘necessary evil’\nbut for AB\, as Artist In Residence\, he's happy to make\nan exception.         9:45 pm    Julianna Barwick (us)   \nAmerica's Julianna Barwick is a unique talent who moves\nin the periphery of (experimental) pop\, ambient and avant\ngarde. So it's no wonder that she works with Sharon Van\nEtten\, is asked by Radiohead to rework a song from ‘In\nRainbows’\, and has been put through the remix-mill by\nDiplo (Major Lazer). Just as she performs in the famous\nGuggenheim museum and works together with avant garde\ncomposer Ikue Mori.    Her – now fourth - album\n‘Nepenthe’ will be released at the end of the summer and\nwas recorded in Iceland at Sigur Rós' studio with Alex\nSomers (Riceboy Sleeps\, Jónsi & Alex) and members of\namiina and Múm. Musically\, she's best situated between\nBrian Eno\, Cocteau Twins\, Björk (think: ‘Medúlla’)\nand Grouper. You can expect a sacred trip highlighted by\nvocals and loops.    Finally\, also the Humo on her previous\nalbum ‘The Magic Place’ from ’11: “She places loop\nover loop over loop until she seems to fill up a cathedral\nall on her own. The beauty of her album is as radical as it\nis direct: as if she's singing next to us in a clearing\nin the forest – and the echoes of the echoes swell into\nsplintered\, almost abstract hymns.”             \n\nhttps://www.abconcerts.be/en/agenda/julianna-barwick-jan-swerts/a105J000001wgrIQAQ
