Lawrence Le Doux‘s improvisational band Fan Club Orchestra (FCO) re-turns with first album in 11 years via 12th Isle.

FCO is composed ofLawrence Le Doux, Ann Appermans on guitar and bass, and Zéphyr Zijl-stra on trumpet.Fan Club Orchestra (FCO) has its roots in collaborative performances andrecordings that began taking place in the late nineties in Brussels. Thesecontinued into the second decade of the new millennium around Belgiumand neighbouring countries. At a time when large contemporary arts spaceswere less professionalised, less obedient to funding and attendance num-bers, and still tuned to their founding DIY impulses, FCO were able to nurtu-re their nebulous cast of players with their unconventional ensemble of in-struments to their own ends. The apparent informality of their performances,mixed with the sheer spectacle of their unfolding, transplanted the experi-mentalism of New York’s downtown scene of the 1960s—think La MonteYoung—into the cracked consumer electronics period of new media art atthe turn of the century.

PAUL VAKANA

PAUL VAKANA

Paul Vakana est un compositeur et joueur de synthétiseur modulaire. Il s'intéresse aux ambivalences entre sons électroniques et acoustiques, notamment via les phénomènes de résonance et feedback. Son travail se caractérise également par la recherche de nouveaux modes d'expression harmonique, qu'il développe à travers l'exploration de systèmes d'intonation variés et une attention particulière pour le timbre des instruments.
