OUT.FEST 2016 OCTOBER - Festival Internacional de Música Exploratória do Barreiro (Portugal)


Evan Parker & Barry Guy

Paul Lytton

For the 13th edition of OUT.FEST  that will take place as usual in the city of Barreiro, Portugal, across the river Tagus from Lisbon, from October 6 to 9, we announce the first names confirmed on the program, that reflect some of the focus that has been part of the curatorial fabrics of the festival. 

As always, the priority is given to whom has been developing a musical work of bravery, creativity, progression and artistic coherence - the provenance of one’s aesthetic field or vocabulary is not a primordial concern. 


Thus, we find one of the most fundamental bands of the history of jazz - not only the free, but the whole of it - in the last decades, in the trio of Evan Parker, Barry Guy and Paul Lytton, for its first show in Portugal in 15 years; the spearheads of the tradition of Japanese psychedelic heavy rock Acid Mothers Temple, as always led by the Hendrixian virtuoso Makoto Kawabata.

Acid Mothers Temple

The return of Peter Kember, which is to say Sonic Boom, to present his project E.A.R. (Experimental Audio Research), a short time after settling residence in our country. Mr Kember will also offer a workshop project to announce further ahead; the legendary Lê Quan Ninh, french percussionist, composer and improviser, will also come to present a solo show as well as a workshop.

Lê Quan Ninh

Foodman, from Yokohama/Tokyo, will premiere in Portugal as part of his first European tour, after crashing the scene as a revelation of an electronica that cross-pollinates and distills every possible style (in potency) that this neo-renaisssance and futurist producer can grab and mold in a concretist manner.

Foodman

Tropa Macaca, who have seen the release this Summer of their new LP “Vida” by Londoner label The Trilogy Tapes, constituted by 4 rites with its singular density and psychodynamic breath, the new episode of this music rich in harmonics textures and mediumship rhythms, an infinite techno ballad composed by gracious phrasings on guitar and an aural landscape played by an original electronic system.

Ondness

Ondness is the most active heteronym in recent times of Bruno Silva, tireless musician with a route amply registered with releases published internationally in the last few years, on this project particularly focused on humid landscaping and vaguely toxic, which he processes and distills countless references of composition, improvisation, electronic and ambient music.

The festival, accordingly to his identity, will take place throughout different stages and venues in Barreiro, and the global passes will be on sale online starting tomorrow August 5, with a special price of 20€ until September 9th.

Trompettist Joep van Rhijn (1984) maakte in Nederland onder meer deel uit van The Jig, The Rotterdam Jazz Ska Foundation, World Music Band Artkiki en Speelman & Speelman. In 2012 vertrok de musicus naar Zuid-Korea en nu, vier jaar later, verschijnt zijn eerste album onder eigen naam met de Koreanen Yongjun Chon (contrabas) en Inseop Song (piano) aan zijn zijde.

Van Rhijn studeerde aan het Prins Claus Conservatorium in Groningen en volgde later nog lessen compositie en arrangeren aan het Conservatorium van Amsterdam. Zijn werk werd in 2009 geselecteerd voor het album ‘New Dutch’ van de West Coach Big Band waarin jonge getalenteerde componisten/arrangeurs schrijven voor een groot ensemble onder leiding van de Amerikaanse trompettist Kurt Weiss bij wie Van Rhijn eveneens les nam.

Op ‘Paper Planes’ laat Van Rhijn zich inspireren door de traditionele jazz. Zijn composities zijn lyrisch en sfeervol waarbij de begeleiding van contrabas en piano vooral in dienst staan van de naamgever van het trio. Van Rhijns zuivere toon is melodisch en ingetogen, fluweel maar bedeesd. Een prettig luisterboek dat nooit spannend wordt maar aangenaam deint, hier en daar opgeschud door een swing of pianistisch hoogstandje van Chon.

Met componeren in de geest van de traditionele jazz is niets mis, maar ‘Paper Planes’ kan wel wat avontuur gebruiken. Met name in de begeleiding valt nog veel te halen. Gewaagde interactie, een rauw randje, uitdagend spel waarbij het trio gedwongen wordt uit de comfortzone te treden, zou meer recht doen aan de levendigheid van de jazztraditie.
