See you at the Market: Jasper Stadhouders
One of the most active musicians in the Netherlands, Jasper Stadhouders is not only busy playing guitar and bass but also composing for projects including the PolyBand, Cactus Truck, Spinifex and trio Stadhouders / Govaert / De Joode among many others. He’s also a member of numerous international ensembles such as Ken Vandermark’s Made to Break, and the trio Rempis / Stadhouders / Rosaly. Jasper possesses the kind of connection to his instrument that is rarely seen, but often comes from  practically being born into playing, as Jasper was, starting guitar at the age of 5.
In recent years Jasper has been developing his compositional abilities more and more, and was recently commissioned by Gaudeamus to compose a work for their upcoming Muziekweek. For The Market, Jasper will compose a large ensemble piece showcasing his trademark focus on rhythm which makes “odd time signatures” feel natural and intuitive.
