Song of Enchantment Live version 24 feb 2024

Versetti De La Vita E Della Morte | Creation George De Decker
is a piece for accordion and tape. 

Fragment from the production 'Le Mont Analogue' and Sp!tsbergen.

Recorded by George De Decker.

Het imaginaire reizen is een steeds terugkerend motto in het oeuvre van George De Decker. Ook wie nog nooit de Noordelijke Ijszee heeft gezien, denkt hierbij aan romantische uitzichten op eenzame landschappen, gletsjers, fjorden en vooral aan het eeuwige ijs.

Versetti De La Vita E Della Morte, (Live Recording, Nona Mechelen, April 2016)

Like a Water Buffalo  (1985)

Water buffalo is a friend of peasants in Southeast Asia for centuries, although in these days they are being replaced by the tractors "the iron water buffalo".

We took the name for our band we formed to introduce Thai protest songs in 1970s against military dictatorship. Australian poet and activist Wendy Poussard visited our home one day and wrote the poem for the band to which I composed a melody.

This melody and the accompaniment inspired by the sound of wooden cowbells water buffalos hang from their neck are turned into a piece for accordion solo when Mie Miki asked me to write music of heart for her instrument. It was in 1985. And I asked her to give the music to anyone who wanted to see the score. As a song reachs the ears behind the prison walls, handed down from musicians to musicians, may this music transmit the sound of freedom. (Yuji Takahashi)

Shell Voice| Free Impro

° Hymns, Prayers and Rituals, Music for the piano, Vol.3 by I.G. Gurdjieff and T. De Hartmann

No.1 Prayer | Gurdjieff - De Hartmann

This improvisation is inspired by the contemporary music piece 
'Push Pull' by Rolf Riehm.

A. De Causmaecker: stones, pebbles and gentle rocks on wooden surface
B. E. Ardenois: accordion, voice, loop

--->PUSH LLUP<---

Barbara Eva Ardenois’ lyrical playing style with free bass accordion – interwoven with influences from oral traditions such as Karelian Kantele improvisations, Swedish herding music and minimalistic world music – breathe the stories of hope and loss, of life and death, of beauty.
