Return To Synthmas: A Synth Christmas Vol. 2

Si ce n’est pas derrière une table de mixage ou en train de monter un soundsystem artisanal, vous avez peut-être déjà entrevu Yann Van der Meer à la guitare dans Userband ou aux côtés d’Oliver Foster.
Avec un ~ (lire «tilde», «approximativement» ou «vaguement») devant son prénom, il bricole une palette sonique confidentielle faite de mélodies délicates et de silences éloquents. 
Une musique éthérée aux airs d’early electronica ponctuée d’interludes grattés.

~Yann (Live) @ Saador ~ 26.01.25

Next Saador ~ 19-10-2025

Le Bateau Louche commence en 2013 sous la forme d’une association, avec l'idée d'avoir un bateau, se dégoter un vieux rafiot, le retaper, apprendre à naviguer et expérimenter à  bord des projets artistiques le temps du voyage.

Every month ~ Sunday As A day Of Rest 

Saador is a collective experience revolving around ambient, drone and experimental music, with occasional detours into downtempo and club sounds, for a seated audience.  

Saador was born of the desire to present unique sound experiences that sometimes have difficulty finding diffusion venues, and to introduce contemporary sound creation in an unconventional way to an audience of passionate and curious listeners.  

One Sunday a month, Saador invites you to an afternoon listening session, sound siesta, sonic voyage - call it what you will.

Formed in 2013, Le Bateau Louche is a collective of creators from all walks of life, committed to promoting, producing, and supporting independent and emerging artists. 

Since the creation of the association, we have endeavoured to create spaces for freedom of expression and exploration, that cross artistic disciplines. Experimenting with lightweight and movable structures, initially we welcomed the public beneath the intimacy of a dome, and later created a space for musical productions in a studio container at the port of Estaque.

Our latest project is based aboard the Panthère Noire 2, a classic 13.5m sailing boat, where Le Bateau Louche plans to host artistic residencies in the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean. 

Encompassing a wide musical spectrum, the association has organised various events in France and abroad over the past ten years, paying particular attention to scenography and visual arts. 

Based in Marseille since 2018, the collective also engages in outreach programs and artistic awareness activities for different audiences
