LAZNIA 1 2005 - GERT JAN PRINS
25th February 2005, 6:00 p.m.
Gert Jan Prins (solo performance on an instrument of his own construction).
None of the instruments he plays can be found in shops. “The music creation begins with the instrument construction or with the source of sound” he says. This Dutch musician and composer began his career in 1984 performing with a very popular free-jazz band “Gorgonzola Legs”. The influence of this cooperation is also present in his current compositions. He also accompanied such famous projects as E-REX and MIMEO which gathered great names from contemporary music such as Rowe, Durrant, Fennesz, Fuhler, Lehn, Matthews, Noetinger, Rehberg, Schmickler, Toral, Wettstein, Fred van Hove, Johannes Bauer, Lee Ranaldo, Anne la Berge, Mats Gustafsson and Misha Mengelberg.
This time he will present a solo music project with the use of radio and TV sets.
