TEUN VERBRUGGEN'S WARPED DREAMER

Warped Dreamer is Arve Henriksen (trumpet and electronics), Stian Westerhus (guitar and electronics), Jozef Dumoulin (Fender Rhodes and electronics) and Teun Verbruggen (drums and electronics).

Guy Peters adds :
Warped Dreamer shares a fickle, mysterious city vibe with a few other bands these musicians are/were involved in. At the same time this project, which combines the talents of Belgian stalwarts Teun Verbruggen (drums) and Jozef Dumoulin (keyboards) with those of Norwegian experimentalists Stian Westerhus (guitar) and Arve Henriksen (trumpet), also has an entirely different identity. Free improvisation, jazz residue and electronic interventions/manipulations are woven together in an organically flowing crossover that hints at a Northern vastness and utilizes a complex inner map that guides the audience past labyrinthine panoramas, intricate textures and spontaneous interaction. As such, they incorporate both crackling, whirling walls of sound and claustrophobic whispers. Warped Dreamer looks toward the future in a way that makes the question whether it’s in or out completely irrelevant. It’s everywhere at once.

Here's Warped Dreamer in concert in Antwerp (B), February 2014.


The Belgian Rat Record label will release an album with material from the four concerts that Warped Dreamer did at 'Het Bos' in Antwerp and started a crowdfunding campaign.
Check it out because there are some nice offers being made !!
