Releaseconcert of Machtelinckx/Gouband/Leroux/Rasten
In 2019, ‘porous structures’ was released, the first album by the quartet Machtelinckx/Badenhorst/Cools/
Gouband. The album won the award for ‘Best Belgian Jazz Album’.
In September 2024, ‘porous structures II’ will be released, a new album by a quartet led by Ruben
Machtelinckx, this time in the company of Fredrik Rasten, Frederik Leroux and again Toma Gouband.
What remains is the choice for acoustic and fragile sounds, comprehensible to the listener but with an
underlying tension and complexity. New is the intertwining of acoustic guitars. While the first album played
with silence, ‘porous structures II’ plays with textures. The melodic voice is exchanged for a group sound in
which individuals are barely distinguishable. The classic roles in an ensemble are abandoned: the three guitars
weave a web and the percussion moves freely through it. The quartet plays a stubborn game of endless,
subtle variations.
