Derelict

Vinyl Album Release ‘Derelict’
SUN 13 OCT 2019 12.30, PODIUM BLOOS, TILBURG (NL)

Jacqueline Hamelink · cello, concept, Aart Strootman · guitar, Stevko Busch · piano

Finally! The Vinyl of the recording in the empty LocHal is ready.

What do you get when a classically trained cellist, a jazz pianist and young minimal composer with an electric guitar improvise together? Exactly, every time something completely different! Jacqueline Hamelink, Aart Strootman and Stevko Busch form a trio for genre-transcending experimental music with a distinct preference for playing at unusual locations.

In 2016 Jacqueline, Aart and Stevko recorded their first album completely live and improvised in LocHal, a large empty industrial hall in Tilburg. A last tribute to this magnificent space, a few weeks before the hall undergoes a major renovation. The album ‘Derelict’ can be found here.

Aart Strootman

Guitar, Composer

"Aart Strootman is completely authentic; he makes inventions in the field of sound that are particularly inspiring. He approaches composition with an exceptional freshness and knows how to reinvent the sound of each instrument in an ensemble down to the finest detail. A performer, an improviser, an inventor, a unique composer." (Gaudeamus Jury)

Piano

Stefan is the artistic director of Gallery of Tones. He is known as a particularly good accompanist, which can be heard in his duo with the saxophonist Paul van Kemenade. For several years now, Stefan has been immersing himself in composing semi-classical piano pieces, and has developed a teaching method with which all styles and levels can be trained.
