notes d'Andre Vida:
"Improvisation solo au saxophone et textes basé sur les poèmes du Handbook 8. J'ai joué chaque mardi soir durant les 2 dernières années dans un endroit nommé Wendel à Berlin. Cela m'a donné l'occasion d'explorer en profondeur les intersections entre sax solo et textes poétique. Je fut donc très heureux d'avoirt la chance de venir à Antwerp et d'y rapporter ces fructifiantes expériences dans un nouvel environnement. je remercie spécialement Giles et Patries d'avoir rendu ceal possible."

biographie:
Arrivé NY en 1995 à l'âge de 19 ans, ""avec une calvitie d'homme rasée de sa propre main sur la tête"", Andre Vida commença à terroriser la Knitting Factory, le Cooler et les quais de métro avec sa marque unique de punkosité saxophonique improvisée. Entre les performance avec Anthony Braxton, The Tower Recordings, Susie Ibarra, Lil' JJ, Brandon Evans, Sonny Simmons, Tim Barnes, et Cecil Taylor, Vida se mit à remarquer qu'il y avait souvent un taxi garée au coin de Hudson et de Canal avec un cercueil collé à l'arrière. Un jour, il décida de voir ce qu'il y avait à l'intérieur. Était-ce le futur du freejazz ? Le destin de l'improvisation instrumentale dêtre exclusue du théâtre ? Était-ce un appel pour que Vida développe le chant de sa voix ? Je souhaiterai le savoir, car il semble tenir un genre de pouvoir sur moi et qui je crois provient de ce qu'il a appris à ce moment.

Onze ans plus tard à Berlin, ces séries très considerées 'Every Tuesday night for the rest of your life' au Wendel lui permir d'afinier ses qualité de danseur de claquette, saxophoniste, chanteur de blues et monologueur en compagnie d'incroyables invités des quatre coins du globe tel Ame Zek, Kevy Blechdom, Kim Hiorthoy, Clayton Thomas, Tony Buck, Jamie Lidell, Bill Youngman, Guido Hennebohl, Brendan Dougherty, the disgruntled mimes, et bien d'autre...

Andre Vida's notes:
"Solo saxophone improvisations and songs based on poems from handbook 8. I have been performing every Tuesday night for the past 2 years at a place called Wendel in Berlin. This has given me full license to explore the intersections between solo saxophone music and poetic lyrics, so I was very pleased to have the chance to come to Antwerp and bring these experiments to fruition in a new environment. Special thanks to Giles and Patries for making this possible."


biography:
Arriving in NYC in 1995 at the age of 19, with male pattern baldness shaved in his head by his own hand, Andre Vida began terrorizing the Knitting Factory, The Cooler and subway platforms everywhere, with his unique brand of improvised saxophonic punkosity. In between performances with Anthony Braxton, The Tower Recordings, Susie Ibarra, Lil' JJ, Brandon Evans, Sonny Simmons, Tim Barnes, and Cecil Taylor, Vida began to notice that there was often a cab parked on the corner of Hudson and Canal with a coffin sticking out the back. One day, Vida decided to see what was inside. Was it the future of freejazz? The fate of instrumental improvisation to the exclusion of theatre? Was it a call for Vida to develop his singing voice? I wish I knew, for he seems to hold a kind of power over me and I believe it stems from what he learned there.

Eleven years later in Berlin, his highly regarded 'Every Tuesday night for the rest of your life' series at Wendel, has allowed him to hone his skills as tap dancer, saxophonist, blues singer, and monologuist with amazing guests from all reaches of the globe. Guests have included Ame Zek, Kevy Blechdom, Kim Hiorthoy, Clayton Thomas, Tony Buck, Jamie Lidell, Bill Youngman, Guido Hennebohl, Brendan Dougherty, the disgruntled mimes, and many more...
