This concert is the result of a 2 day workshop where Advanced Master students from the School of Arts Gent join forces with a squad of Ictus musicians. The workshop & performance is conducted by guitarist Kobe Van Cauwenberghe who has been working on Braxton music for several years now. His latest release on the London based label ‘All That Dust’ of his solo response to Braxton’s Ghost Trance Music received unequivocal praise on ‘All About Jazz’ : Belgian guitarist Kobe Van Cauwenberghe steps inside that matrix with his performance of three Braxton compositions with his Ghost Trance Solos by layering loops and electronics over his guitar in real time. The effect is astonishing and as hypnotic as an ensemble performance.
