With the Brainteaser method, this orchestra of wizards is heading towards a bright future.---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The fifth BIMHUIS Composition assignment, during our 50th birthday, has been awarded to composer-conductor Tijn Wybenga.With his Brainteaser method, band leader and sound wizard Tijn Wybenga invented a way to capture the new jazz generation in music. To celebrate fifty years of BIMHUIS he will present his renewed orchestra, plus special guests from the outer limits of music. Expect recycled samples, electronics, orchestral grooves, wild improv and spacey soundscapes.
As our Nieuwe Maker, Tijn Wybenga took the opportunity to seize the essence of the current BIMHUIS community. The Brainteaser Orchestra (formerly AM.OK) reflects a new generation that defies categorization. The music has all been written with the Brainteaser method: recording live improvisations of band members and guest soloists, cutting and pasting hundreds of samples from those recordings and restructuring them in new ways, into new compositions. While Wybenga’s approach is unabashed and playful, the orchestra reveals a great promise for the future.
‘A compelling tapestry. Tijn Wybenga, an unapologetic bandleader, steers the ship with fervor through an odyssey that defies categorization. Rejecting the constraints of rigid genre descriptions, the ensemble explores heavy grooves, mesmerizing ballads, and ethereal soundscapes. Anything is conceivable as Wybenga propels his crew towards the next horizon, embracing the freedom to traverse diverse musical landscapes’ (Jazz in Europe).
