In the main projects that he is involved as double bass player, he has a deep input as a composer." ^ Hide Bio for Goncalo Almeida • Show Bio for Peter Jacquemyn "Peter Jacquemyn (1963° schaarbeek) moves easily between the visual arts and music. As a sculptor he assaults tree trunks with axe and chainsaw. His concerts are just as spectacular: with unbridled energy he lovingly wrestles his double bass.It is a battle in which all means are fair: bows (1, 2 or 3), dented soda cans, plastic bags, crumpled paper, mutes, horns, retuned strings,... All of this ranges Peter Jacquemyn among Belgium's most interesting improvisers with a very justified international reputation." ^ Hide Bio for Peter Jacquemyn
