Trumpeter Wim Van Hasselt returns to NativeDSD Music with his fourth Stereo and Multichannel DSD release - Imaginary Mirror (DSD & DXD EP). His three earlier DSD Stereo & DSD Multichannel albums are linked below for your listening and purchasing convenience.
Equipped with a variety of trumpets, a ridiculous array of percussion instruments, and far too many electronics, Wim Van Hasselt (Trumpet) and Koen Plaetinck (Percussion and Electronics) combine to create an entirely new musical space. Presenting brand-new compositions and arrangements, they stretch the boundaries of classical music into a unique world of sounds and visuals, infused with traditional music, electro-underground, improvisation, and - above all - their own vivid personalities. Imaginary Mirror (DSD & DXD Edition) features works by Quartier, Part, Ravel, and Stockhausen.
What if dreaming became reality? The imaginary tangible? When living a fairy-tale the fantastic is the concrete. Inspired by the electrifying philosophy of the Surrealists from the roaring ’20s, they create a stage full of thoughts - in place of stories - their music literally surrounded by compelling visuals. The album is "A Stage Full of Thoughts".
“The imaginary is what tends to become real.” - André Breton
They drown the audience in color and sound. You will not need a manual. The beauty of music. Nothing less, nothing more?
