(Scroll down for ENG)

Immaginatevi i #BIJA isolati dal #mondo, per due settimane, immersi con anima e cuore nella produzione di #nuova #musica!

Abbiamo raccolto qualche scena di questa esperienza per raccontarvi dove stiamo andando.

La musica che ascolterete è un piccolo estratto di una lunga sessione di improvvisazione fatta nel 2018, la quale si troverà, anch’essa, nel nostro prossimo album, mescolandosi “bijosamente” alle nuove composizioni che per ora ancora non vi sveliamo!

Bija – Artistic Residency C.R.E.O at Artemista Recording Studio – Spessa (PV) #January2020 #newalbum.

Imagine the #BIJA isolated from the #world, for two weeks, immersed with heart and soul in the production of #new #music!

We’ve gathered a few scenes from this experience to tell you where we’re going.

The music you will listen (Mosquitos on Mars) to is a small extract of a long improvisation session made in 2018, which will also be on our next album, mixing “in a bija-way” with the new compositions that for now we don’t reveal yet!

Q-some Dreamin’ Release Tour

Q-some Dreamin’ Release Tour

When you let your thoughts run free, you get a broad view of what is possible with a big band. Then your own compositions germinate. Then a new generation of Belgian composers emerges who, together with the top of the latest generation of jazz musicians, shine their light on the future of Belgian Big Band music, in its absolute essence, as if in a common dream.

Dreamin’ is a program of the Q-Some Big Band in its purest form, with original work from their own ranks by Gabriele di Franco, Pierre-Antoine Savoyat, Manten Van Gils and Robbe Willems.

Q-Some Big Band is een hedendaags jazzorkest bestaande uit jonge, professionele muzikanten.

Vanuit de Q-Some Composer Hub verkennen ze de klank- en kleurrijkdom die een moderne bigband te bieden heeft. Met hun steeds verfrissende arrangementen, vernieuwende programma’s en onverwachte muzikale samenwerkingen gaat dit orkest over de grenzen heen, waarbij de passie voor het vak, de warmte binnen de band en vooral de grotere dromen duidelijk hoorbaar zijn.

Dreamin’ Release tour:
14/03: Cultuurcentrum Mechelen
20/03: Kaffee Damast
21/03: The Preacher

Tickets info: .
You can pre-order the album here: https://www.qsomebigband.com/nl/winkel/.
