The Fête de la Musique à Namur , is just over twenty free concerts from June 20 to 23, all styles of music combined, inviting the public to wander, open-minded and curious, from a cultural venue to a garden, a courtyard, a café terrace or a store, in search of a variety of musical universes, sometimes festive, sometimes more hushed, even singular. It's a grassroots project that aims to recapture the original spirit of the Fête de la Musique: a warm atmosphere, great encounters and spontaneous sharing between musicians and audiences.On June 22, come and discover the Namur-based project Orphée.Freely inspired by the eponymous myth, this Namur-based project reappropriates the story to create an original musical form: halfway between techno, classical, ambient and field recording. It draws its inspiration from both primitive and contemporary electronic music. Electrodes that capture variations in the electrical potential of plants generate experimental, improvised music. Electricity ignites the electronic circuits of the modules, energy exalts the plants and love electrifies Orpheus. The result is unique music, powerfully organic and adventurous.Mix & Live analog visuals by Analog Memory aka François Gustin - Myth of Orpheus adapted by Julie Csik & Benoît VermerThe event is free!More information here.
