dirk wachtelaer
Dirk Wachtelaer is a drummer and improviser who is also active in sound art. Born and based in Belgium, he constantly crosses borders by collaborating with artists from all cultures and disciplines. He has many years of experience in a wide range of styles such as jazz, rock, electronic music, African and Asian music. An immersion in a surprising sound world, using both regular drumming techniques, extended techniques and aleatoric processes, is therefore the result!
Always looking for new challenges, he regularly performs as a soloist and has collaborated with numerous artists. These included long-term collaborations with Toshinori Kondo, Paul Schutze (Phantom city with Bill Laswell, Raul Bjorkenheim ao), Stevie Wishart (Transient, and also in duo), Luk Mishalle and Pablo's Eye, among others. He played with Trevor Watts, Paul Lytton, David Toop, Michel Henritzi and Philip Clemo, to name a few. Besides Europe, he was also active in countries like Japan, India, Singapore, Vietnam and Indonesia, where he played with musicians such as Ngo Tra My (dan bao), Iman Jimbot (kacapi), Yong Yandsen (sax) and Sie-Wai Kok (vocals).
