His performances combine physical skills with a contagious, humorous, and Latin flair. 5:00 PM-6:00 PM: live concert Splntrs Avondprogramma 5:00 PM-6:00 PM: Splntrs Als musician, you often sit with a new melody in your head, a piece of text, half a riff... but you can't figure it out. Under the banner Splntrs, songwriters Stijn Van Bouwel (The Beatups/TO THE BONE) and Gert Baetens (Diecast Machine Heads/The Peamels) get to work with ideas that have remained under the skin or were never truly finished. Inspired by Josh Homme's The Dessert Sessions and I Hate Camera van Rudy Trouvé, befriended musicians are invited to see if there are hidden gems among them. Live, own creations alternate with quirky interpretations of idols like Pixies, Afghan Whigs, and Red Zebra. Splntrs digs, probes, puts together... music that might also linger under your skin. 6:00 PM-7:00 PM: Overmacht "Overmacht" refers to a force beyond our control – a concept that perfectly captures the essence of electronic music duo María Pandiello and Jacco Gardner. It stands for the unpredictable forces that shape musical improvisations, where sound unfolds as a reaction to the moment. The core of Overmacht is a musical dialogue with the unexpected, the coincidental, and the vulnerability of the creative process. It is about listening attentively, holding sound in time, and finding beauty in imperfection. The layered melodies and refined synthesizer landscapes of Jacco Gardner merge with the urgent rhythms and sampling techniques of María Pandiello. This creates a constantly changing soundscape in which rhythm and melody continuously challenge and complement each other. 7:00 PM-8:00 PM: This transalien from space has landed on earth in her spaceship to entertain the public. Her name? BINK. 7:00 PM-8:00 PM: Jorgina has received classical training in piano and violin, and creates her own compositions while giving a new interpretation to the classical repertoire using piano, synthesizers, field recordings, and acoustic instruments. Her work moves between neoclassical and experimental music, exploring the emotional depth and tensions of the human experience. 8:00 PM-9:00 PM: Delay Brothers, centered around Borgerhout musician Johan Verhaegen (a.k.a. William Delay), mixes rock, jazz, and pop into poetic and adventurous soundscapes. The band plays refined when it can, but cuts hard and raw when it must. Especially for this occasion, Vincent Brijs strengthens the brotherhood! 9:00 PM-10:00 PM: Nathan Felix-Rivot Hij is a French contemporary dancer and performer who began his artistic career at the circus school of Toulouse at the age of 8. After graduating from the Koninklijk Conservatorium in Antwerp, he has since collaborated with choreographers and companies like Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe, Radouan Mirziga, Rosas, and Ictus. The mix of origins and social backgrounds in which he grew up, as well as his experiences in various professional fields, strongly influence his current work, which is characterized by a versatility of techniques, ideas about freedom, and playing with sounds, rhythm, and voice. 10:00 PM-11:00 PM: Gizem Karaosmanoğlu, alias KOO, is an Istanbul-born, Antwerp-based sound artist and experimental electronic musician. Her computer-generated compositions offer a wide range of melodies, rhythms, frequencies, and timbres. She edits and digitally manipulates various sounds and vocal samples, processing them into patterns in her creations, in combination with catchy, sometimes strange, dark, and gloomy melodic lines. Her works always align with certain feelings and sensations. She creates and performs experimental electronic music under the name KOO. KOO’s approach to the creative process is based on experimentation and exploration. Her live audiovisual shows, occasionally accompanied by various visual artists, are aimed at sharing and revealing her aesthetic perception and the pleasure she wishes to express both musically and visually. 11:00 PM-1:00 AM: Mariona, born in Spain and currently based in Antwerp, approaches DJing with great curiosity. Her sound moves between groovy rhythms, layered percussion, vocal-driven tracks, and influences from early progressive and tech house. Thus she creates a warm, constantly evolving atmosphere that feels playful and subtly euphoric. Every set is a sensual, chaotic, and vibrant musical journey. Besides her work as a DJ, Mariona is also a photographer and co-founder of 113 MAISON. Through photography and costume design, she further expands her creative practice. with the support of district Antwerp, city of Antwerp, Het Oude Badhuis, Archipel, and RooftopTiger
