21.30 Maarten Vos

Cellist, experimental

As a classically schooled cellist, Utrecht musician Maarten Vos uses different electronic and acoustic extended techniques to enrich and manipulate the old sound of his cello. His music can be defined as dreamy landscapes with an experimental touch. Maarten collaborates with a wide range of different international ensembles and artists in electronic, classical, and pop music.

22.30 Piano Interrupted

Neo-classical, piano ambient, electronic (UK)

Long before they decided to make music together, London-based pianist/composer Tom Hodge and French electronic producer Franz Kirmann were already friends due to a mutual appreciation and respect for their work. It's this peculiar clash of different worlds, both in culture and in musical genres, that makes this collaboration work so well. Minimalistic classical piano and cello compositions are accompanied by intricate electronica and ambient found sounds, although the fine line that determines which of the two is there in support of the other is often blurred. It's this ambiguity that makes Piano Interrupted so compelling.
