The press-conference is over, the programm has been revealed, now let's turn to the really important thing: the music and the musicians!
This year too we'll be seeing performances by both soloists as well as a 25-man orchestras. Today's emphasis will be on a medium-sized combo, a quartet called The Ambush Party. In 2006, a saxophonist, a cellist, a pianist and a drummer got together in Amsterdam to collectively create free improvised soundscapes.
The Ambush Party - the name is their game. Lying in ambush, they suprise their audience with sound-attacks or with silence and contentment, sometimes they even surprise themselves.
We have a live-recording to serve as a prime example of their improvisation. Their music functions from out of the moment, and their album, released this year, has been practiced, recorded and burnt to CD without editing. It can be listened to on their Soundcloud-site.
Image and sound together will follow here: Natalio Sued, Harald Austbø, Oscar Jan Hoogland, Marcos Baggiani played together at the dOek festival #9 in Amsterdam at the end of last year:
The Ambush Party will be the first band to play on the main stage on Saturday.
