TEMPERATURA opens this conce rt season with DECONSTRUCTED MELODIES, a quartet consist ing of the musicians Peter van Bergen, Jeroen Kim man, Koen Nutters, and Gert-Jan Prins.

An all-star band of four Dutch musical personalities w ho, between them, have done everything imaginable in the field of music. O rganising and improvising inside of every layer of the music business, cur ating concerts, series and venues, leading bands and ensembles, playing wi th the greats, travelling the world. Coming from different generations and directions of noisemaking, here, in this quartet setting, they share thei r love of melodic improvisation in a floaty memory game of pieces played a nd pieces heard. Deftly moving around each other, leaving space to create, each on their own, layers of tempo, punctuation, melody, and lyricism. Pl aying their own compositions alongside classic pieces from Dutch colleague s (Mengelberg, Altena) and American originators such as Sun Ra, Carla Bley , Anthony Braxton, Ornette Coleman, and more to blend in. Trying to find a tone, an expression, playing contemplative noise-jazz melodies in an airy space of contemplation, together alone, alone together, creating balance between space, time, and culture, with a logic of the post-modern and a se nsitivity of the cultural here and now.
