BLIND IO: IKUE MORI – INGRID LAUBROCK – BRAM DE LOOZE – TEUN VERBRUGGEN (US/JP/DE/BE)

With Ikue Mori (electronics), Ingrid Laubrock (tenor, soprano sax) and Bram De Looze (piano), drummer Teun Verbruggen assembles an exciting pool of artists that inspire him in different ways. Blind IO is the name of this all star quartet and with an album for Rat Records in the makes, it’s the perfect time to welcome them to the stage of De Singer.

Bram De Looze (Eric McPherson, Joey Baron, Stéphane Galland, Mark Feldman) already played with Teun in the band Chasing Penguins. Bram is a virtuoso and a renowned pianist who always gives his music surprising and fresh twists and turns. His impressive skills in composition and improvisation are of tremendous value to a project that will clearly explore musical boundaries.

The second musician joining this project is Ingrid Laubrock (Anthony Braxton, Dave Douglas, Kenny Wheeler, Jason Moran). Originally from Germany, Ingrid Laubrock is a saxophonist/composer based in Brooklyn since 2009. Laubrock is interested in exploring the borders between musical realms and creating multi-layered, dense and often evocative sound worlds.

Last but not least, Teun introduces the innovative musician Ikue Mori. She came to the scene as drummer for the legendary band no wave band DNA with Arto Lindsay and is known for her work with her challenging electronics as a soloist and in collaborations with bands and artists like Zeena Parkins, Fred Frith, Craig Taborn, Silvie Courvoisier, Ken Vandermark and John Zorn’s Bagatelles.

An album is planned on Rat Records for 2025, but this unusual foursome will surely hit the mark with their creativity and the unexpected, innovative element of their music.
