The Ethiopian Sosena Gebre Eyesus is one of the few contemporary practitioners of the beganna, also known as "King David's Harp. One of the world's oldest stringed instruments, it was used by aristocrats and priests to accompany Ethiopian Orthodox hymns and drive away evil spirits.

The deep, buzzing tones of the beganna, combined with Sosena's soft, soothing voice creates a particularly soothing atmosphere. Be calm and be there.

Ameel Brecht

Composer and experimental musician Ameel Brecht you may know from the collective Razen, a project that combines early music, spectral compositions and psychedelic improvisations.

He specializes in esoteric tunings and resonances on instruments such as steel mandolin, guitar and violone. After "Polygraph Heartbeat" (Kraak) "8-Infinities" (Disco Transgénero) and "The Locked Room" (blickwinkel), he is now working on a series of tapes on the theme of sleep on the Belgian blickwinkel label, the third tape of which will be released in September 2024. Brecht has composed music for various dance companies, (short) films and documentaries, including the soundtracks for Bas Devos' films Ghost Tropic and Here.
