De Joode can now be regarded as one of the leading specialists in the fields of collective improvisation and Instant Composing. Creating new music on the spot calls for a free spirit who is always searching and taking risks – someone who can start from ‘nothing’ and doesn’t allow the ego to prevail.…

Oscar Jan Hoogland piano, electric clavichord, etc

Oscar Jan Hoogland, Amsterdam 1983, is an improviser, pianist, composer based in Amsterdam.
