Having Brooklyn based Zosha Warpeha (Hardanger d’amore) and Brussels based Nicolas Chkifi (drums, percussion) and Mathieu Robert (soprano sax) recording at the Dropa House Studio on a Monday is a perfect occasion to invite them for a new Freakscene live radio session and interview for Radio Centraal.

Zosha Warpeha is a composer-performer working in a meditative space at the intersection of contemporary improvisation and folk traditions. Using bowed stringed instruments alongside her own voice, her long-form compositions explore transformations of time and tonality. She performs primarily on Hardanger d’amore, a sympathetic-stringed instrument closely related to the Norwegian Hardanger fiddle. Her current work is informed by the cyclical forms, rhythmic elasticity, and the physical momentum of Nordic folk music.
Nicolas Chkifi is a versatile and highly musical drummer, composer, music and yoga teacher who leads Fnussjen, the quartet for which he composes. He is a major contributor to bands as Motian Love, SuperNova and Laniakea, and can be heard alongside musicians such as John Dikeman, Seppe Gebruers, Hugo Antunes, Marta Warelis, Larry Ochs, Jeroen Van Herzeele, Jozef Dumoulin and of course reed player Dave Rempis with whom he performed some blistering duo sets earlier at Freakscene (2023, 2025).
Mathieu Robert is saxophonist, shakuhachi player, composer, music and yoga teacher. He has specialized in the soprano saxophone and developed a unique sound and personality in multiple projects ranging from solo to big band. After studying at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels and earning a master’s degree in jazz and improvised music at the Koninklijk Conservatorium van Brussels, he is now active on the Belgian jazz scene as a leader and co-leader.
