A fresh new breeze is blowing through the Belgian music scene, taking the form of SCHNTZL. This duo of Hendrik Lasure and Casper Van De Velde is cheerfully pushing the boundaries of traditional jazz, armed with only piano and drums. The two young top talents are experimenting with minimalism, electronics and classical music, in their search for the preservation of fragility: how can strict composition and free improvisation be combined? How do acoustic and electronic elements fit together? The unique way in which they answer these questions leaves enough space for silence and takes the listener to the essence of music. Their first full album Schntzl was recorded by producer Koen Gisen (Dans Dans, Flying Horseman, An Pierlé, Robbing Millions). For fans of Nils Frahm, Radiohead and Keith Jarrett.
