NICA live: Jorik Bergman "Take me to Space"

In the organizer's words:

20:00 I Concert I 🌿 GREEN ROOM

"Take me to Space" is the latest project by flautist and composer Jorik Bergman: a courageous attempt to leave behind the earth's grip through music and to circle in orbit. With guitarist Teis Semey from Amsterdam, electric bassist Louise van den Heuvel from Brussels, pianist Felix Hauptmann and drummer Alexander Parzhuber from Cologne, she has invited four up-and-coming musicians from the young European scene.

To mark their second concert as part of "NICA live", Jorik Bergman has composed a new program that documents their longing and desire to leave the here and now and escape into the vastness of the incessant. Together, the four embark on an extraterrestrial journey. Inspired by (Afro-)futurism, science fiction films such as "Star Wars" and "2001: A Space Odyssey" and real space travel, they take off with acoustic flute sounds and an electrifying, groove-based rhythm section. With "Take me to Space", Jorik has built a hybrid of soaring poly-chords, trippy odd beats, minimalist sound explorations and more, resulting in a sound that takes us out of this world.
