CAT POWER
CAT POWER
Chan Marshall, the American singer-songwriter, musician, occasional actress, and model, has been releasing dark, bluesy folk records and touring as Cat Power since the early 1990s - at first as a band, eventually as a solo artist. Having developed personally and artistically over the last decades, she came to understand how less can be more, as the most indelible moments of her discography are those in which there is preciously little getting between her voice and the audience’s ears.

IDLES
IDLES
Bristol-based British punk rock band IDLES, formed in 2009, achieved critical acclaim with both studio albums Brutalism and Joy as an Act of Resistance. The band’s debut album Brutalism was hailed as a rage-fuelled masterpiece whereas they stripped back the songs and the lyrics to their bare flesh to allow each other to breathe and to celebrate the differences on their second LP.

FLAVIEN BERGER
FLAVIEN BERGER
Paris-based sound designer Flavien Berger reanimates the great 80s French electro pop with a twist! Influenced by chanson, techno and synth beats, the young Frenchman first appeared on the music scene in 2014 with his inventive electronic pop music. The young artist turned a genre upside down that was missing his adventurous spirit. Acid loops, transcendental vocoders and miraculous lyrics define a revolutionary synth pop second to none.

CLAIRE LAFFUT
CLAIRE LAFFUT
The Paris-based Belgian model, artist and singer Claire Laffut lights up every room with her aura. The 24-year old talent machine, born and raised in Belgium, is an all-round artist, gifted and skilled in many crafts. She describes her music as “childish, sweet like a lemon tart with a meringue topping”, mixing this with a small touch of soul and African rhythms, fresh pop filled with bossanova and jazzy notes. “Because I love dancing, and I also love the heat.”

THE HOLY
THE HOLY
The Holy came together fast in 2014, when frontman Henrik was hosting a football screening at his house. “In the after party at 2am we ended up listening to some demos and found a tempting tone in one. In a few hours the band’s line-up was almost ready, we were only missing a bass player, but our friend remembered this girl from university who had some kind of ska-funk bass playing background as a kid and our friend texted her right away.”

RAFTSIDE
RAFTSIDE
Raftside is a solo project band of visual artist and composer Filip Markiewicz. Mostly influenced by alternative pop music, Raftside is a hybrid mixture of guitar-voice-sunglasses songwriting and electro sampling but overall an experimental playground. The surrealistic and slightly protest lyrics are layered on surf-rock guitar, that create a cinematic atmosphere. Over the years Raftside has played many solo shows with different band members as well as sharing the stage with The Streets, Broken Social Scene, The Wedding Present or The Organ.

C'EST KARMA
C'EST KARMA
While Karma Catena has played music for all her life it got serious in 2015 when she started to play the guitar. The 17-year-old realized quickly that she struck a chord when busking the streets of Luxembourg thus combining her skills with her powerful songwriting. Intimate yet authentic, youthful yet smoky, her voice cuts right through every venue.

CLAIRE PARSONS & URIEL BARTHÉLÉMI
CLAIRE PARSONS & URIEL BARTHÉLÉMI
The project by Claire Parsons and Uriel Barthélémi is an artistic reflection on the heritage of sacred music as well as the mystical concept of a relationship with the divine, based on Hildegard von Bingen, a medieval Benedictine abbess and saint. Topics to be explored during the artist residency at the Abbey include Hildegard von Bingen’s musical, medical, theological and mystic heritage, drawing upon certain of her compositions as well as her musical vision.
JACKIE MOONTAN
JACKIE MOONTAN
Jackie Moontan is as poetic as absurd, like a sunburn under the moon. Naive and sentimental, gifted with an almost accidental persipicuity, he sails through the streets and flats, and through people’s lives. Embroidered with pop sounds, as well as funk or disco, Jackie is adorned with a costume that comes straight from the 80s.
