Double Bill: Delphine Dora & Koude

Delphine Dora

Delphine Dora is a prolific pianist and improviser from France. An eclectic explorer of language and sound, Delphine is one of the most curious and surprising souls on the European avant-folk scene, capable of forging a musical universe in constant metamorphosis, arranged between several languages (English, French, German, Russian, imaginary languages) and genres such as minimalism, improvisation, electroacoustic and folk.

Equally at home with old pipe organs, synthesizers and keyboards, immersed in the atmosphere of churches and nature, Dora often becomes the voice of a place, at once embodied and ghostly, intimate and experimental. Exploring the subconscious of folk in forms of bliss both abstract and real, timeless ceremonies woven from voice and piano, rural sounds, electronic intuitions and barely perceptible drones. Close to Christina Carter, Brigitte Fontaine and Meredith Monk, Delphine Dora seems to evoke the American minimalists as much as Satie and Debussy.

Koude

The subdued music of Koude combines elements of free folk, drone, ambient and slowcore in quietly impressive ways. In this regard, Michiel Klein, Keimpe Koldijk en Ester Venema are building on their previous collaborations in acts such as Blessum (Vrystaete), Eklin (Night People) and Mike Koldin (Samling). The trio makes use of electric guitar, bass guitar, synthesizer, minimal percussion and vocals. Koude's debut album will be released on Minorie in April.
