About this concert
The One - release.
De 15-koppige bende van FES (Flat Earth Society Orchestra) spelen composities en arrangementen die steevast verankerd zijn in 20ste-eeuwse tradities – van diverse jazzvertakkingen naar rock, exotica en hedendaagse muziek – maar ze vertrekken vanuit een resoluut 21ste-eeuwse spirit, werkend aan een oeuvre dat even groot en gelaagd als herkenbaar is. FES is dat zeldzame beest: een intelligent, moeiteloos excentriek orkest dat steeds opnieuw z’n huid afwerpt en vooral live elke keer weer piekt.
Op hun nieuwste release The One neemt FES het eenduidige waarheidsdenken op de korrel. In een dolgedraaide wereld van elkaar verdringende perspectieven, brallende persoonlijkheden en honger naar bevattelijkheid is The One het hoogste goed geworden.
Peter Vandenberghe en Peter Vermeersch componeren opnieuw een veelkoppig werk vol schijnbewegingen dat inzet op veelvoudigheid. Wordt de ene zodra die gepasseerd is en opgevolgd wordt door de volgende immers niet de vorige?
The One is een waanbeeld, een ideaal voor luchtbellen, het summum van verarming. Het is een manier van denken die met alle middelen bestreden moet worden. Less is niet more, minder is al te vaak … niets meer. Gewiekst, filmisch en doortrapt zoals je ze enkel nog vindt in klassieke films noir; is The One een tegengif voor een onzinnige queeste én een ode aan de ongebreidelde fantasie.

Flat Earth Society Biography
The most unreliable music since 1999
Taking Belgian whimsy to a logical, irresistible extreme, Flat Earth Society straddles the border between multi-color surrealism and savvy skill with striking ease. Speaking of borders: Flat Earth Society is the ultimate international ambassador for this peculiar kind of Belgian eccentricity, with memorable performances all over the globe. Since composer, reed player, producer and de facto bandleader Peter Vermeersch founded the orchestra in the late 90’s, it has become one of the most productive and thrilling bands of its kind, with an endless list of genre-defying projects, enterprises delving into (silent) film, theatre and opera, and a wide range of albums to its credit.
Perhaps it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the band is being led by a trained architect, as the gang’s enviable command of form and freedom betrays a thorough knowledge of structural possibilities. Working with sheet music and tight arrangements, as well as alarming amounts of freedom and unpredictability, this 15-headed juggernaut effortlessly switches from one style and temperament to another. Not to prove that it can, but because the possibilities are just too good to ignore. The generosity that is at the heart of Flat Earth Society will satisfy those looking for an XL-shot of adrenalin and its proudly upheld ‘unreliability’.
While Flat Earth Society’s compositions and arrangements betray an expert knowledge of 20th century traditions - from various jazz branches to rock, exotica and contemporary music - it starts from a decidedly 21st century spirit, looking forward and creating a body of work that is as large and multi-layered as it is instantly recognisable. Quick-witted, effortlessly eccentric and always on the lookout for new and exciting challenges, Flat Earth Society is that rare beast: a constantly evolving orchestra that keeps shedding its skin and thrives best live. On welcoming, adventurous stages this band really explodes, something its many guests - from Jimi Tenor and John Watts to Ernst Reijseger and Uri Caine - can attest to.
