On a Tuesday and a Wednesday' (out on Blickwinkel ) is the first collaboration between Pierre Bastien and Casper Van De Velde. The album is a creation of a 2-day residency at Werkplaats Walter (Brussels), at the label's invitation. In their improvised sessions, they soon found a way to fuse Bastien's renowned mechanical sound sculptures with percussionist Casper Van De Velde's playful and detailed style. The result is a mix of intricate rhythms and organic music that flows effortlessly between the intimate and the expansive.
Pierre Bastien (Paris, 1953) is a French musician, composer and experimental instrument maker. He began making mechanical musical instruments at a young age, using objects such as metronomes, cymbals and pulleys. In 1977, Bastien began collaborating with Pascal Comelade and composed music for dance performances. He was also a member of ensembles such as Operation Rhino, Nu Creative Methods and Effectifs de Profil. Bastien has collaborated with well-known artists such as Robert Wyatt, Jac Berrocal, Emmanuelle Parrenin, Jaki Liebezeit, Pierrick Sorin, Lukas Simonis and Issey Miyake. His work released has been released by labels such as Lowlands, Rephlex, Tigersushi and Alga Marghen. In addition to his music career, Bastien completed a PhD in 18th-century French literature, with a thesis focused on the pre-surrealist writer Raymond Roussel.
In 2017, acclaimed drummer Casper Van De Velde graduated from the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp. Together with Hendrik Lasure, he is part of the duo schntzl, which has already released albums on the W.E.R.F. label and Cortizona. Casper is also involved in several other projects, such as Donder, Bombataz, Warm Bad, Schreel Van De Velde and the An Pierlé Quartet. hum. is the sound world of Berlinde Deman and Mirko Banovic.They got to know each other during their collaboration at Flat Earth Society. The duo invites you to an unusual encounter between serpent, bass guitar and electronics. In hum. a sparse dialogue unfolds with slow-cooked melodies, a soundscape that balances between silence and unease, in which every note is both fragile and charged.
