Re–Ghoster are a trio of pianist Thomas Florin, drummer Nicolas Field and Revox tape maestro Valerio Tricoli. The acoustic instruments are fed to tape, magnetised, digested, re-eaten, reworked and regurgitated again by the machine.
For the release tour of their amazing new record ‘Or not all’, they have invited the renowned New York experimental trumpeter Nate Wooley to join them.

Mordecoli

Mordecoli is a new duo of Ecka Mordecai on cello (Takuroku Records) and Valerio Tricoli on Revox and electronics. They had an excellent residency recording at Cafe Oto last year, and we’re very excited to hearing them play together.

Gabbro in Gabbro

This special Safehouse night featuring Belgian reedplayer and filmmaker Hanne De Backer takes a different format to the usual: a screening of the documentary Gabbro in Gabbro, followed by a performance by Hanne on baritone saxphone and bass clarinet and Casper Van De Velde on drums and sampler.

Fascinated by stones and minerals, Hanne De Backer names her collective of musicians and artists ‘Gabbro’. Gabbro is a volcanic igneous rock formed from magma that cools slowly beneath the Earth’s surface. It wasn’t until later, during a tour in Italy, that she discovered it is also the name of a small, mysterious village in Italy…

In search of the story behind Gabbro, she travels with drummer Casper Van De Velde to the Tuscan hills. With their instruments as their compass, they wander through the remote village and strike up conversations with the residents. Amid music, silence, and improvisation, a place slowly unfolds where time seems to move differently. Step by step, their quest maps out the village, and they meet a handful of eccentric characters who give Gabbro its own, unforgettable character.

The result is a radically poetic documentary, a musical adventure in a special place with very authentic residents. Following the film screening is a live concert performed by Hanne De Backer and Casper Van De Velde, taking you on a hybrid journey of acoustic and electronic sounds, old radios, and Tuscan field recordings.
