Pushing their instruments to the limits of sonic possibilities, Twombly spatters heaps of improvised musical paint onto the canvas. Melody and harmony are stretched to the point where they lose any historical or stylistic associations and become pure sonic color to be brushed, scraped, and thrown into space. The resulting soundsculptures take on a life of their own, organically creating their own structure and logic while remaining spontaneous and unpredictable: a true conversation which can only be expressed in this unique shared language.
For this occasion, Twombly invites pianist/composer/painter Nico Huijbregts.

1000
Jan Klare: reeds / Bart Maris: trumpet / Wilbert de Joode: bass / Michael Vatcher: drums
This band is called 1000, because it was born during a series of concerts titled ‘1000 years of jazz’, plus, I000 is a strong number and as digital as can be. The basic repertoire of ‘1000’ comprised interpretations of classical compositions to begin with - Gregorian chant, Bach, Wagner, Monteverdi... Then Klare began writing pieces that concentrated on the special characters in the group, blurring the lines between composition and improvisation. Structure is maintained while the instruments constantly shift between leading and accompanying roles.
Two musical nomads wandering freely in the open fields between post-rock, impro and electronic music. Through playing together constantly in different bands they developed a very special chemistry, allowing them to rely on intense listening and musical communication to give their improvisations a strong sense of direction and structure. Together they create a fresh blend of minimalist soundsculptures, electronic beats and post-rock mayhem with the sense of immediacy only real-time improvisation can provide.
