Matinee: Edward Capel & Hans Sparla The P.O.M. & T56 BasementRecordings

After the music theater tour Wim Klein, the last human computer, a production by theater maker Jan van den Berg and the stubborn collective VLEK, the need arose to continue experimenting together as a duo. In the basement of Podium POM in Eindhoven, Edward Capel and Hans Sparla found each other again, where they started experimenting with saxophone, clarinet, trombone, accordion, and electronics. The recordings of these sessions formed the basis for their album The P.O.M. & T56 BasementRecordings (2025) Edward Capel studied saxophone, composition, and improvised music at the Brabants Conservatorium and is active as a performing musician, teacher, and composer within various projects in the jazz and improv scene. Trombonist and accordionist Hans Sparla enjoyed a musical upbringing in a domestic setting and learned to play the accordion from his father. After a classical education at the Brabants Conservatorium in Tilburg, he came into contact with jazz and improvised music early on and developed into a versatile musician. In addition to his work as a performing musician, he taught at the Brabants Conservatorium and at Factorium Tilburg, where he taught trombone, composition, and improvisation.
