Adriaan de Roover and Pieter Dudal are two musicians living in Brussels and Ghent. After a residency in Ghent’s De Koer in the spring of ‘21, where they created a tape loop sound installation, they decided to explore the possibilities of their collaboration further in a live context, by processing, mixing and recording loops into a living sound collage. Given the fragility of the tools they use, guaranteed things will go wrong, and push the performance into unforeseen directions.
Pieter Dudal
Pieter Dudal is a sound artist from Ghent who works under his own name Dudal. Beside his own artistic work, he also founded and curates labels Dauw and blickwinkel. His music is recognizable by its lo-fi melodies surrounded by slowly building sound textures, resulting in fragile electro-acoustic compositions. After several shows in his own country, Dudal toured in Berlin, Prague and London and joined Peter Broderick for a string of shows. In 2021 he self released his debut album ‘Can you say it again’. New work is set to be released during 2022.
Adriaan de Roover
Adriaan de Roover is a musician and composer from Antwerp. Since 2014 he has released work through [PIAS], Dauw, Consouling, Fog Mountain and through his own imprint. Adriaan wrote music for installations, dance and documentary, and performed one-off performances with, among others, Lotte Dodion and Wide Vercnocke,
In October 2019, Adriaan released his debut album Leaves. The album was supported by BBC6 (UK), Groove (DE), Klara, Clash, Ransom Note,… Electronic Sound spoke of “11 flowing tracks of cerebral organic electronics…a musician of real talent”, at Ransom Note it sounded like “Layers instrumentation and soundscapes in an abstract and yet enchanting manner”.
In 2020, Adriaan released a collection of commissioned works ‘Voor Anderen’ via the Belgian tape label Dauw and created a soundtrack for fashion designer Nico Verhaegen. In 2021, he released VACUUM, a collaboration with David Poltrock. From that album arose a performance of the same name directed by Aïda Gabriels (oester).
