Eli Keszler + Ben Bertrand

Une interface pratique pour explorer l’infini à la fois vers l’intérieur et vers l’extérieur, personnel et impersonnel, lointain sans l’être vraiment. Il n’y a ici ni forme prédéfinie, ni contexte figé. Il s'agit d'un autre type de couleur. Chaque voix, chaque geste indique un possible point d’entrée.

Eli Keszler
In May of this year, the New York-based Grammy Nominated composer and percussionist Eli Keszler released his self-titled album via LUCKYME. It is a freewheeling, Lynchian song-cycle in which his virtuosic performances traverse a living landscape of abstract electronic sound. The album breathes, creaks and sighs through its twelve tracks, with noirish jazz giving way to skittering drums and cinematic, dubbed-out textures, the lyrics whispered and cried by seemingly distant voices.
A prolific collaborator, Keszler has worked with the likes of Oneohtrix Point Never and Skrillex, and on films like Uncut Gems (2019) by Daniel Lopatin. He has composed for esteemed institutions and ensembles, including the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra, and his artistic reach extends internationally, with music, installations, and visual works showcased at the Whitney Museum, Cologne Philharmonie, Victoria & Albert Museum and Museum of Modern Art, amongst many others.

Ben Bertrand
With his bass clarinet and countless machines, Belgian composer and musician Ben Bertrand weaves his music and his live sets like a hypnotic webs of sounds. Listening to his music is like sitting at an ancient sea, watching a slow motion of our current crazy lives sailing by. Ben has toured Europe (Rewire Festival, Cafe OTO, Sonic Acts), collaborated with Christina Vantzou, and his first two albums have been broadcast on channels like NTS, BBC and France Musique.
Closer to home he played at les ateliers claus, Volta and Matinée in the spring of 2025, to present his third album Relic Radiation, released by Stroom. Composed during a residency in the water mill of the Slovakian National Gallery and dedicated to the memory of his father, the album's experimental ambient probes endlessness, both inward and outward, both the sunbeam and the dust motes floating in it.
