The NDT dance Studio 2 & Swan Song by S. León and P. Lightfoot
Studio 2; Choreography by Sol León and Paul Lightfoot; Company, Nederlands Dans Theater; Music by Arvo Pärt - Tabula Rasa (Ludus & Silentium), double concerto for two violin, string orchestra and prepared piano; Sol León and Paul Lightfoot created Studio 2 to mark the company's 50th anniversary in 2009. It is partly a tribute to the rehearsal room where these choreographers have worked for twenty of those fifty years on an oeuvre that currently numbers over forty choreographies. The music they use alludes to Tabula Rasa, Ohad Naharin's first great dance work, so it is also an ode to this significant inheritance. In León and Lightfoot's view, it could just be that the true history of the soul of NDT is permeated in the dance floor, walls and mirrors of this rehearsal room. -----------------------------------; Swan Song; Choreography by Sol León and Paul Lightfoot; Company, Nederlands Dans Theater; Music by Philip Glass, Double Concerto for Violin, Cello and Orchestra. Swan Song (2010) is a farewell ballet. The ballet is dedicated to former dancer Stefan Żeromski, who ended his dance career with this piece. As a muse of León and Lightfoot he was of great artistic significance. Philip Glass created a new composition specially for this ballet: Double Concerto for Violin, Cello and Orchestra. Glass has been one of León and Lightfoot's sources of inspiration for many years now. Swan Song is the first choreography León and Lightfoot made on music composed expressly for them. Recorded on 2013, at the Het Lucent Danstheater, The Hague, Nederlands; TV Director, Jeff Tudor (71 min)

Flat Earth Society at Sud Tyrol Jazz Festival in Bolzano
Peter Vermeersch - clarinet; Stefaan Blancke - trombone; Benjamin Boutreur - saxophone; Berlinde Deman - tuba; Luc Van Lieshout - trumpet; Bart Maris - trumpet; Michel Mast - saxophone; Marc Meeuwissen - trombone; Kristof Roseeuw - double bass; Bruno Vansina - saxophone; Peter Vandenberghe - piano, keyboards; Teun Verbruggen - drums, dustbingrooves; Pierre Vervloesem - guitar; Wim Willaert - accordion, keyboards; Tom Wouters - clarinet, vibraphone, vocal; Even in the 20th century, there's a society which claims that the Earth is flat: the Flat Earth Society. The bizarre society was founded in the 19th century in Great Britain and it still believes that pictures taken from space are false. The eponymous 1998 Big Band from Belgium, however, plays anything but flat music. The claim to fame came for this jazz orchestra, founded by artist and clarinettist Peter Vermeersch in 2004, as he and pianist Uri Caine went on tour. In 2006 they released their first CD, 'Psychoscout', followed by their second CD, 'Clear Me, Perverts!' in 2009. A rebel and anti-conformist ensemble with a lot to offer, from faithful adherence to music rules to intoxicating improvisation. (55 min)
TROYKA at Sud Tyrol Jazz Festival in Brunico
Chris Montague - guitar, loop; Joshua Blackmore - drums; Kit Downes - organ; TV channel 'ARTE', introducing a Troyka concert, stated: 'Troyka are rooted in the jazz tradition and are at the same time hiply contemporary. Atmospheres often change in a single piece, almost to the point of paradox: hard and aggressive guitar riffs mix with gentle keyboard motifs, while composition and improvisation combine as one'. This blend of garage rock, jazz improvisations and dance music defies labelling: the band sound like 'King Crimson for the iPod generation,' as the London listings magazine 'Time Out' put it. One thing is for sure: this trio forms part of a generation of young musicians who reject the limits of genre, with the decisive question no longer 'What is it?' but 'Is it good?'. (44 min)
