MATT WATTS//NICOLAS ROMBOUTS – SEPARATION//SUICIDE

On an evening in November, 2020 Belgian artist Nicolas Rombouts and American-Brussels based artist Matt Watts met together at Studio Caporal in Antwerp behind Central Station.
Just a week after the suicide of friend and artist Loloman (aka Ward Zwart), and also in the wake of an end to a marriage marred with much pain, addiction, and depression.
The two had spoken by phone and agreed to a recording session.
That evening they shared such loss in conversation, and on muted piano, contrabass, and electronics.
Compositions were shared and improvised and by the next day their album Muted Songs For Piano was complete.
Meant to be listened to in one full trip from beginning to end.
You’ve traveled across the galaxy and are looking back through a telescope at this world and its lonesome mausoleum of memory. Sounds you can almost hear and movement you can almost feel, though you know that it has passed in the time its light has taken to reach you.

As is the profound personal nature of this album, the artists have proposed to deliver the album themselves to those interested in the recorded performance.

Kris Dane is a singer songwriter who has been enchanting the musical landscape for almost two decades with his unique compositions, which cannot be categorised into established genres. Kris Dane has created his own musical universe with his earthy soothing voice and laid-back guitar playing.

He conveys his eloquent poetry not only through the lyrics of his songs, but also through his melodies, which evoke a certain sense of innovative nostalgia, soulful and compelling.

‘LEVITATE’ is Kris Dane’s seventh studio album.
