A complete experience centered around experimental ambient music, immersive sound, and visuals, with 360 projection by Spacemakers and video artist Rien Coorevits.

Mattias De Craene and Alex Zhang Hungtai as a new duo at Club Wintercircus? An event of ambient music with a musical mystery guest to open the evening.

With 'Her Beautiful Eyes,' Mattias De Craene is opening a new chapter for the first time. His recognizable sound gives way to a more intimate, introspective form, and in this new project, it ventures more into the realm of the psycho-spiritual world, where improvisation, experimentation, and text allow our subconscious to meet.

About the artists

Mattias De Craene is a Belgian saxophonist, composer, and producer. He likes to take the contemplative, cinematic route. This results in a more experimental, yet cinematic sound that oscillates between minimalism and melancholy. Mattias tells his story in his own language, using his saxophone, tape loops, and an electronic setup.

Taiwanese-born, Montréal-hailing Alex Zhang Hungtai was born anew after retiring from the Dirty Beaches, and, since then, has dived fully into the role of composer. Tinkering with the saxophone, synthesizers, percussion, and piano, Zhang has embraced the free form, focusing on explorations of improvised music, free jazz, and ritualistic music of liminality. On the stage, Hungtai deepens his research into complex psychoacoustics, turning the audiences into students of sound, mouths agape.

Alex and Mattias met in Helsinki, Finland in 2021 after a concert. Mattias invited Alex for an improvisation session where they continued their dialog. From their own methods, they find each other in their love for electronics and experimentation.

360°

This is a 360 A/V show. The artists perform in the middle of the room, and the audience sits around the performers. This limits the capacity. Buy your tickets in advance and arrive on time so you don't miss this intimate set.

The duel between the soft, soothing vocals and the mechanically torn saxophone sounds is decided in favor of human warmth.

Zoom in

RT60Fields is the alter ego of Peter Desmedt, known as a producer and mixer primarily of jazz and electronic projects. With only modular synthesizers, he seeks new ways to create ambient atmospheres and timeless soundscapes. What began as a quest for other dimensions became an invitation to turn inward and grew into the album 'Transient': “lasting only for a short time; impermanent”.

Rien Coorevits and Felix Ysenbaert are the founders of the audiovisual collective Spacemakers.
It sprouted in the fertile soil of beautiful Avelgem (Evil-Atown) and blossomed in Ghent.

SPACEMAKERS is a collective that experiments with light, sound, and video in public spaces. They try to transform spaces through various art forms, from video mapping, stage design, laser, 3D, and light constructions to interactive installations. Extending reality pixel by pixel.

In the context of live visuals and VJing, where the world and workflow are becoming increasingly digital, they are playing the analog old-school card for this event. Just like the music performances, it will be a jam session. A video jam combining new and old techniques. Analog video glitches, old video mixers, liquid blending, etc. Video killed the radio star.

Felix Ysenbaert
Multidisciplinary artist, animation, illustration, video, projection mapping.
Creates universes that alternate between geometric shapes, absurd figures, and music-driven visuals.

Rien Coorevits
Rien Coorevits works with electronics, analog video, and risography. By modifying old video mixers into synthesizer-like installations, he creates a world of intangibility. It's like tuning in to your favorite radio frequency and getting stuck somewhere between two stations. Abstraction and psychedelia are never far away. It is a search for beauty in an incomprehensibly complex world.
