Genius Loci

As touring musicians, Wietse Voermans (Vehikel, Spoken) and Ruud Voesten (Ambrosia, ROEST) have performed at many different unique places.

In their new project 'Genius Loci' they use their stage not only as a place for performing, but make it an active participant in their compositional and improvisational process. Stories about the location, the city or the employees, a particular set of acoustics or just a very small, tight stage all become deciding factors in the music.

The main part of the music will be created in an improvisational fashion and moves between the limits of what this line up has to offer. Loud, soft, beautiful or ugly. //

Lombardi // McEwan is the collaboration of Italian dancer/mover Alessia Lombardi, and Greek/Scottish guitarist, composer and electronic musician James A.-McEwan.

Based in Den Haag, the duo explores their own world of abstract dance performances, inviting the audience into a world of open ambiguity, where ideas are implied instead of being stated, and space is given for the audience to find their own way through the world created onstage. It is a world that can be contemplative, it can be energetic, it can be dense, and it can even be glitchy.
