orchestra nazionale della luna

Manuel Hermia – sax & flute
Kari Ikonen – piano & moog
Sébastien Boisseau – bass
Teun Verbruggen – drums

Orchestra Nazionale della Luna is preparing it's third trip and third album at Werkplaats Walter. The ONDLL crew - Finnish keyboardist Kari Ikonen, French bass player Sébastien Boisseau and the two Belgians, Teun Verbruggen on drums and Manu Hermia on saxes and bansuri - is back on duty. The group immerses us in a fascinating world that mixes plenitude and chaos, Middle Eastern colours and jazz with floating particles in full deconstruction, illustrating that humanity has reached a turning point. Their contrasting sound paintings evoke sometimes the crystalline sea and weightlessness, sometimes the melting ice caps and desertification.

ONDLL will work on this new material during a short residency and show us the result this exclusive evening before flying back home.

andrej thompson

Andrej Thompson is a composer and saxophonist currently based in Brussels but originally from Melbourne, Australia. After studying at The Australian National University, Monash University and The University of Copenhagen he moved to Slovenia where he began collaborating in the ensembles Tolmači and Bobenbrass. During this period he also founded the Copenhagen-based ensemble Light, Time and Space. Subsequently, he relocated to Brussels where he began a residency at Werkplaats Walter exploring and developing his original compositions for small ensemble. His output ranges from solo and duo performances of free improvisation to large scale works for wind orchestra. His current focus is on non-linear approaches to composition and time perception in order to create great variety and diversity.
