"Hände ohne Orte"

Using almost the same instrumental forces as their point of departure, these four composers arrive at strikingly different musical worlds. From Stefan Prins' amplified landscapes of glitch and sonic illusion and Pierre Slinckx's vibrant retro-pop timbres, to Eliott Delafosse's apocalyptic rhythmic machinery and Daan Janssens' mist-like textures, this programme traces four sharply contrasting paths through a shared instrumental terrain.

Based in Brussels, Ensemble Fractales was born out of a shared desire to promote and explore new musical repertoires. The ensemble — composed of flute, clarinet, violin, cello and piano — is dedicated to performing a wide range of contemporary music, crafting engaging programs that reflect the richness and diversity of today’s musical landscape, having premiered over 100 new works at festivals like the Venice Biennale, Mixtur, and ArsMusica. With infectious energy and a deep commitment to the music of the 20th and 21st centuries, Fractales brings each performance to life with curiosity, passion, and precision. Fractales is currently supported by the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles in Belgium.
