Two new instruments: a BanjoCello and an Electric Clavichord
Harald Austbo - solo BanjoCello
Oscar Jan Hoogland - solo electric clavichord
Harald Austbo - solo BanjoCello
For Vincent van Warmerdam's theater play Blackface (Orkater) Harald Austbo will play a BanjoCello. A new hybrid instrument. This instrument is specially built for him by the famous dutch cello and violin builder Guust Francois. Tonight Harald will demonstrate the instrument by doing what he is best at: improvising!
Oscar Jan Hoogland - solo electric clavichord
For a long time I had the wish to enter the sound world of the electric guitar. I was hoping to be able to combine this sound world with the improvisation language I developed as a pianist. Then I heard an early 70’s recording of C.P.E. Bach’s clavichord music by Gustav Leonhardt. Being recorded much to close, the loud high notes bend ridiculously. I loved it and thought; this is it.

QOHELEET: Imitation of Life
Dario Fariello: noise and voice / Yedo Gibson: reeds and voice / Harald Austbo: cello and voice / Michael Szafirowski: electric guitar and voice / Oscar Jan Hoogland: piano and voice / Marcos Baggiani: drums and voice
Dario Fariello is a man from Bologna unlike any other man. Last year Dario came to Amsterdam.
And as with any distinct improviser his personality opened a world of new possibilities.
Looking for a group to explore this world this sextet came out and Dario named it QOHELEET.
Well, if you want to know a bit more about Dario and his collaborations with persona such as Tristan Honsinger and James Brown hit the world wide web.
This group is ridiculous! So is life.
