We already heard some tunes of g a b b r o’s debut lp and can say it’s a killer. g a b b r o is the adventurous baritone sax duo Hanne De Backer and Marc De Maeseneer and they will present the lp and throw in a live show this Thursday May 4th when Oorstof heads back to DE Studio. Same day Oorstof presents also the Belgian debut of the challenging Norwegian quintet Nakama. After Grand Line and Most Intimate, 2 impressive Nakama-releases from 2016, they now tour for the first time as a quintet adding the vocal acrobatics of Agnes Hvizdalek to the line up of Adrian Løseth Waade (violin), Ayumi Tanaka (piano), Andreas Wildhagen (drums) and Christian Meaas Svendsen (bass). Reserve your spot and save 3 EUR. It’s easy, just mail us here !
More Oorstof activity this month: Friday May 12th Jooklo Zappa, The Selva and lauroshilau at Het Bos and Sunday May 21st Matthew Shipp & Ivo Perelman at L’Archiduc (afternoon show starts at 5 pm).
The announced Australian Open III fest on June 3rd will be replaced. We keep the date but Kraak & Oorstof will make sure it’s worth it to come down and celebrate the end of the spring season. Stay tuned, we’ll keep you posted.

On Sunday March 19th Dave Rempis, Fred Lonberg-Holm and Paal Nilssen Love once again will hit DE Studio hard with a 2 set Ballister show. And there’s a good reason why this ultimate power improv trio returns to Antwerp. March 19th is the official release date of the Ballister lp/dvd Low Level Stink (edition of 300) on our own Dropa Disc label, recorded at DE Studio during Ballister’s superb and sold out Oorstof show in 2015. It’s a back to back release with Ballister’s Slag cd, recorded the day after the Antwerp show at Cafe OTO and released on Aerophonic. And there’s more Dropa Disc news. March 19th is also the official release date of the PEN cd on Dropa Disc (edition of 500), the first ever release of the stellar trio of Evan Parker, John Edwards and Steve Noble, recorded in 2015 at their Oorstof show at Zuiderpershuis. So don’t hesitate and make sure you reserve a spot for this memorable event. Going by the pre-orders we already received for both Ballister: Low Level Stink and Slag, and Parker, Edwards, Noble: PEN it might be wise to pre-order a copy of either one of them or all three releases while you are at it. Just add your request when making a reservation by mailing us here !

For Sound in Motion, Oorstof and Dropa Disc 2016 was a very productive year. We wish you all a fantastic new year and will start 2017 appropriately with a two day festival, two new Dropa Disc releases and a spring programme that hopefully makes you looking forward to it just as much as we do.
But let’s, sort of, start at the beginning:
The Belgian pioneer of free improvised music Fred Van Hove turns eighty this year. We celebrate this memorable birthday together with national and international guests during a two day festival – concerts, reception, expo, food, drinks, record stand .. – at deSingel in Antwerp on February 3rd and February 4th 2017. Newcomers and renowned players will honour not only his very rich musical past and but together with Fred will look forward to the future. More info on the programme and tickets you can find here !
We are also very proud to be able to already announce two new Dropa Disc releases:
Dropa Disc #004 > Evan Parker – John Edwards – Steve Noble: PEN cd (February)
Dropa Disc #005 > Ballister: Low Level Stink lp/dvd (March)
you can pre-order these releases by mailing to dropadisc@soundinmotion.be

Although adviced positive, not getting the structural fundings nor project fundings from the Flemish Government made 2016 a very hard year for SiM/Oorstof. Thanks to the support of Stad Antwerpen, District Antwerpen, all the venues and artists involved and especially you, we managed to move forward against all odds and produced, give or take, 134 artists – 26 Oorstof events – 3 festivals – 3 residencies – 2 European tours, started the Dropa Disc label and released 2 lp’s and 1 book and launched the new website soundinmotion.be. These numbers might seem impressive, but quantity is by no means a focus of Sound in Motion, the Oorstof series and Dropa Disc. It just shows there’s a big necessity and a big dynamic going on music wise of which we only scratch the surface by giving exposure and support to artists that aim at the highest artistic quality in whatever they set out to do. It goes beyond saying that coming to the Oorstof events and Festivals and buying the Dropa Disc releases is crucial to be able to continue what we do. So if your looking for a late Christmas gift get yr Dropa Disc goodies here ! And before we all are getting ready to enjoy Christmas and say goodbye the an extremely turbulent year we just wanted to share some of the plans we have with Dropa Disc and Oorstof for 2017:
Dropa Disc:
– Dropa Disc #004 Evan Parker – John Edwards – Steve Noble (cd edition of 500)
– Dropa Disc #005 Ballister: Low Level Stink (lp edition of 300) a back to back release with Ballister: Slag cd on Aerophonic are set to be released in early 2017.
You can pre-order them by mailing us at: dropadisc@soundinmotion.be
