Pierre Bastien and Machinefabriek will play at SMART this Saturday during museumnacht

A last minute intervention from municipality hinders SMART Project Space and Viral Radio to host one of the museumnacht afterparties this Saturday. Instead, Pierre Bastien, Machinefabriek and Soccer Committee have been added to the roster. From the newsletter:

SPSOUND
Pierre Bastien | Soccer Committee and Machinefabriek
Saturday 1 November, 21.00 hrs
Location: Auditorium
Entrance: free

Pierre Bastien
“The musicians of his orchestra are machines. And the idea behind it is simple, efficient and poetic : to have traditional instruments (Chinese lute, Morrocan bendir, Javanese saron, koto, violin, sanza, etc.) played by a mechanical instrument made of meccano pieces and recycled turntable motors. These hybrid and self-playing sound sculptures perform a series of short pieces, charming and hypnotic. “(Michel F. Côté)

In the recent years, Pierre Bastien and his machines collaborated with video artist Pierrick Sorin, fashion designer Issey Miyake, dj Low, British singer and composer Robert Wyatt and the Trottola circus. The most recent compositions were released on Lowlands and Rephlex.

Machinefabriek and Soccer Committee
Rutger Zuydervelt has joined forces with Soccer Committee’s Mariska Baars on a multitude of previous projects but nothing has come close to the sheer force of their newest material. Baars’ bare-bones songs of lament and longing are taken apart and reassembled by Zuydervelt’s capable hands. Gentle acoustic guitar plucks and soothing harmonium tones work magically to highlight the brightest star on the album: Baars’ fragile, beautiful voice. She is in magnificent form, pulling emotions from the depths.
