Cosmic future-pop synths that make you float. Marc Melià was born in Mallorca and lives in Brussels for some time now. As a musician and producer, Melia seeks beauty in what — at first sight — often sounds cold and emotionless. Beatless electronic soundscapes, complex arpeggio sequences and 'post-Kraftwerk' melodies. Exclusively using a Prophet 08 synthesizer, his voice filtered with a vocoder and a limited number of effects. During concerts, Melià plays everything live, without pre-programmed sequences. For fans of Nils Frahm, Flavien Berger and Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith. (Fyi, feel free to bring your packed lunch.)

Free screening of The Holy Mountain by Alejandro Jodorowsky (1973). This surreal film contains references to religious and mystical matters and at the same time criticizes the consumer society.

We should no longer tell you that polyphonic singing provides infinite pleasure and, at times, can also yield a substantial portion of goosebumps. In this workshop, we aim for both. Singing songs in a variety of styles: from Gospel, Pop, Musical to African music, nothing will be avoided. Your guide: Marie Bogaert. She sings with Au Bain Marie and over the years has developed her love for polyphony. Want to sing along? Tickets: € 5 In cooperation with www.wisper.be

Community of Listeners is a multilingual storytelling platform. They gather around stories, language and music, each time in a unique location. During these encounters CoL bring authentic stories that resonate with our hyper-diverse society. True stories, but also myths and interpretations of universal themes. We do not speak one unified language. However, the need to communicate does result in a common language. A new language that questions the dominant one. When you leave this collective journey between East and West, between then and now, you will hopefully tell the stories you have heard to the people around you. The listener becomes storyteller. Community of Listeners was founded by Helena Lemonnier (BE) and Mohsen Mahjoobi (IRN) in 2018. Tickets €5.

Participants:  Zoubida Mouhssin (storyteller), Saïda Manai (storyteller), Carlo Strazzante (percussion), Wim de Winter (chant & tanpura), Shabbir Hussain (tabla)

Come in, shake off the day. Lay down, listen, fall asleep. Lai Laaj Lai follows the natural rhythm of sleep. Musicians and their lullabies accompany you on a journey from sunset to sunrise, a trip between West and East. When night falls, electronic loops steer your deepest dreams. Then dawn arrives, and the city's engine starts up again. Under the morning sun, musicians pay tribute to the new day.
