Moving Sounds is a smale scale festival focusing on experimental jazz, music that does not only break boundaries, but crosses them, returning enriched with new possibilities and vibrant ideas. Moving Sounds wants to capture artists & sounds on the move, traveling from country to continent, from staff to portée, from silent to unheard, from loud to noise, from genre to era. With food, nice beer & some excellent vinyl for sale.
Aki Onda is known for his Cassette Memories, in which he travels through audio recordings made during 2 decades at various places. “Bon Voyage!” might be his most known work, an excellent collection of contemporary Musique Concrete. This afternoon he’ll perform as a trio with jazz guitarist Noël Akchoté & experimental guitar hero JF Pauvros. Jozef Dumoulin is part of a young generation of european artists used to cross the frontiers. His ability to travel between different musical genres within the same language is remarkable, just as he flawlessly switches between a piano and a Fender Rhodes. As a trio he brings along Eric Thielemans - Belgium's finest troubadour drummer & Trevor Dunn - who performs with the Nels Cline Singers as well as in various John Zorn projects like Electric Masada.
After a short break we’re expecting a very exciting encounter between our favorite American trumpeter Nate Wooley, Hugo Antunes from Portugal, the Brusselized Italians Daniele Martini & Giovanni Di Domenico and American drummer-octopus Chris Corsano. Without a doubt this concert will be one of the most amazing trips you can enjoy this spring. Rafael Toral, also Portuguese by origin, has been crafting his jazz-inspired and alien-sounding Space Program for the past 8 years. For this he uses plenty of (modified) electronic devices, pushed by a mantra of "exploration" and "discovery".
AKI ONDA / is an electronic musician, composer, and visual artist. He is particularly known for his Cassette Memories project – works compiled from a “sound diary” of field-recordings collected by Onda over a span of two decades. Onda’s musical instrument of choice is the cassette Walkman. Not only does he capture field recordings with the Walkman, he also physically manipulates multiple Walkmans with electronics in his performances. In another of his projects, Cinemage, Onda shows slide projections of still photo images, shot by himself, as a performance or installation. Onda has collaborated with artists such as Michael Snow, Ken Jacobs, Paul Clipson, Alan Licht, Loren Connors, MV Carbon, Oren Ambarchi, Jac Berrocal, Lionel Marchetti, Linda Sharrock, Blixa Bargeld...

JEAN FRANCOIS PAUVROS / A guitarist with an inimitable technique, not entirely unknown in the New York scene. He has composed and played with musicians such as Elliot Sharp - Arto Lindsay - Jonathan Kane - Rhys Chatam... His taste for musical and human encounters, which lead him to form the most improbable and cosmopolitan groups can only find and maintain its unity when subtended by a style and an original and continuous inspiration.

NATE WOOLEY / (Oregon, 1974) His time in Oregon, a place of relative quiet and slow time reference, instilled in Nate a musical aesthetic that has informed all of his music making for the past 20 years. Nate moved to New York in 2001, and has since become one of the most in-demand trumpet players in the burgeoning Brooklyn jazz, improv, noise, and new music scenes. He has performed regularly with such icons as John Zorn, Anthony Braxton, Fred Frith, Evan Parker, and Yoshi Wada, as well as being a collaborator with some of the brightest lights of his generation like Chris Corsano, C. Spencer Yeh, Peter Evans, and Mary Halvorson. Wooley’s solo playing has often been cited as being a part of an international revolution in improvised trumpet. Along with Peter Evans and Greg Kelley, Wooley is considered one of the leading lights of the American movement to redefine the physical boundaries of the horn, as well as demolishing the way trumpet is perceived in a historical context still overshadowed by Louis Armstrong. A combination of vocalization, extreme extended technique, noise and drone aesthetics, amplification and feedback, and compositional rigor has led one reviewer to call his solo recordings “exquisitely hostile”. In the past year he was artist-in-residence in two of our favourite places in the world: Brooklyn’s Issue Project Room & London’s Café Oto.

CHRIS CORSANO / Like Glenn Kotche and Tim Barnes, drummer Chris Corsano made a name for himself as an avant-garde drum master equally adept in pop settings, and a master inventor in both. With an expressive palette made from various prepared drum techniques, including butter knives and kitchen bowls on the drum heads, Corsano collaborated with Björk, Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore, and Jim O'Rourke while maintaining ongoing partnerships with the likes of saxophonist Paul Flaherty, Vibracathedral Orchestra's Michael Flower, Björk, Jandek and many others.

JOZEF DUMOULIN TRIO / is part of a young generation of european artists used to cross the frontiers. His ability to mix different musical genres is not voluntary, but perfectly natural. Despite his exceptional talent as a piano player, he voluntarily swaps his piano over a fender rhodes that he fits out with a number of pedal effects. Noticed for his abilities as a composer and his research on sound, he collaborated with different bands and artists: Octurn, Magic Malik, Franck Vaillant Benzine, Dre Pallemaerts, Reggie Washington Trio Tree, Othin Spake, Narcissus Quartet, Maak’s Spirit, Aka Moon or Christophe Wallemme. After his first album Trees are always right’s release in 2009, Jozef Dumoulin takes the plunge and embarks on a trio adventure with Trevor Dunn (Mr Bungle, Fantomas, John Zorn, ...) on bass and Eric Thielemans (Lidlboj, EARR, A Snare is a Bell, Maak’s Spirit, ...) on drums, which gave birth to his second album Rainbow Body. In the latter, Jozef Dumoulin carries on his search for the right balance at the borders of electronic sounds, experimental music, pop and jazz. http://www.jozefdumoulin.com/
RAFAEL TORAL / plays experimental electronic instruments. Strongly interested in phrasing, he calls his style “post-free jazz electronic music”, described as “a brand of electronic music far more visceral and emotive than that of his cerebral peers”. Toral’s innovative Space Program, while researching performance possibilities, delivers music that is full of clarity, articulating silence and sound in a thoughtful, yet physical way. Formerly known for his drone/ ambient work with guitar and electronics and records such as “Wave Field” (1994) or “Violence of Discovery and Calm of Acceptance” (2000), in 2003 he terminated that line of works to completely renew his approach to music, launching the Space Program in 2004.
