About this concert
Partenaires de crime mais aussi partenaires de vie depuis 1997, An Pierlé et Koen Gisen sont des artistes qu’on ne vous présente plus. Ce projet duo, c’est une invitation à célébrer leur parcours, leurs albums, leurs projets, grâce à une formule qui revient à l’essentiel sous une forme épurée : piano & voix et clarinette basse & saxophone. Une formule si simple qu’ils en avaient presque oublié son efficacité.
Avec un arsenal de chansons couvrant près de 25 ans, ils ont l'embarras du choix. Ce projet duo vous offre un "Best Of" personnel de chansons réinventées qui finissent par prouver leur force à travers une forme épurée. Leur musique, si touchante, s’infiltre dans le cœur et dans l’âme. Ici, pas de boîte à rythme, de beats ou d’autotune, mais un vrai retour à l’essentiel, avec chaleur et authenticité, on revient à une musique pure et vraie. Ils jouent avec le cœur. Le monde unique qu'ils ont créé ensemble a survécu sans effort à l'épreuve du temps, les thèmes sont transportables et transcendants et leur public fidèle a grandi avec eux.
Mais surtout, ils sont impatients de partager cela avec un vrai public. Venez revivre et découvrir vos souvenirs d’enfance, mais aussi de nouvelles œuvres !

An Pierlé Biography
An Pierlé (born An Miel Mia Pierlé in Deurne, Belgium in 1974) is a pianist and singer-songwriter.
She supposedly declared that at a very young age she decided that she would be an actress, singer, musician and dancer, most preferably all at the same time. She studied classical piano, but practically hated her education. She enrolled at the age of 17 at the art-school Studio Herman Teirlinck in Antwerp. In her third year there she made a solo-programme with songs of her own, alone at the piano. Shortly after she became known to a moderately wide audience in 1996 when she entered Humo’s Rock Rally with a tape of her own version of Are 'Friends' Electric?, originally sung by Tubeway Army. The song ended up on Random, a tribute album to Gary Numan (of the Tubeway Army), who says he was impressed by An's version.
After this, An toured for two years with a theatre group, and starred in a Belgium television series ("Moeder, waarom leven wij"), gave a few solo performances and collaborated with DAAU on their song "Broken", where she sings all of the vocals.
In 1998 she signed a record deal with Warner Music Benelux. This resulted in her first album titled Mud Stories, completely in singer-songwriter fashion. Most of the album was recorded on electric piano in the winter of 1998 and 1999 in the attic of a theatre in Gent. The extra acoustic piano parts were done in the spring of 1999. This resulted in a range of songs with very little production. It’s basically just An and her piano (and accordion, occasionally). Mud Stories speaks to the mind with complex lyrics and professional piano play, which misled the press (especially the Dutch) into comparing her with Tori Amos, much to An's surprise. An herself said that her music was not at all influenced by Tori Amos, but rather by John Cale and classical music. The record sold over 25,000 copies in Belgium and the Netherlands. Even though the Dutch press didn't give her good reviews, she managed to sell a lot of albums, possibly because of her extensive touring and appearing at a few big festivals.
In 2002 An Pierlé released her second record, Helium Sunset. Unlike the previous album, this album was also released outside of the Benelux and France. The sound of Helium Sunset moves away from the dark, gloomy solo performance to a more enriched band feel, with expanded drums, cello and other instruments. Her lyrical style remains of highly poetic and complex level.
Following the release of Helium Sunset was a live album named Live Jetset with Orchestra, an album with back up from a full orchestra. The album was apparently very limited in release numbers and sold out pretty quickly.
An Pierlé and band released the album An Pierlé & White Velvet in early May 2006. An and the band are now also performing under the same name. As of late April 2006, the first single named "How does it feel" was already available for download in online stores.
An Pierlé is involved in a romantic relationship with her guitarist, Koen Gisen.
