About this concert
Thomas Azier speelt 'Power To The People Who Don’t Want It'
Met het project Power To The People Who Don’t Want It keert Thomas Azier terug naar zijn eigen materiaal. Hij is met zijn bestaande composities aan de slag gegaan en heeft ze door gebruik van enkel synthesizers, saxofoon en zijn eigen stem, weten om te buigen tot een minimalistisch, cinematografisch werk.
In deze nieuwe compositie komen de dieper liggende aspecten van de nummers aan de oppervlakte, met als gevolg een atmosferisch muziekstuk dat volledig op zichzelf staat — en waarbij de originele versies vrijwel onherkenbaar zijn geworden.
De nummers worden onderbroken door urgente gedichten. Als astronaut die onbekend terrein betreedt, neemt Thomas Azier ons mee op deze nieuwe ontdekkingstocht, en herinnert ons daarbij aan geliefde synth partijen uit de muziekgeschiedenis, van Tangerine Dream, Angelo Badalamenti of Brian Eno.
In deze nieuwe vorm wil Azier de absolute kern van zijn melodieën benadrukken en op die manier zowel de kwetsbaarheid ervan laten doorklinken als de teksten meer naar voren laten komen. Samen met jazz-saxofonist Maarten Hogenhuis en toetsenist Annelotte Coster, speelt Thomas Azier live Power To The People Who Don’t Want It, dit najaar.
