For a long time, in addition to contemporary music, I have also been intensively involved with Baroque music, especially the Italian and German violin music of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. It is therefore not surprising that the formal structures of this epoch are also reflected in my compositions.
This concert program combines on the one hand new compositions with baroque influence and on the other hand baroque works played with modern technology.

Wednesday December 3 - Dries van Elten, Ramon Lormans & Rianne Wilbers - 8:30 PM------admission (minimum) €8/4 student
Residency at POM
During their residency at POM, Dries van Elten, Ramon Lormans, and Rianne Wilbers explore the intersections between sound, rhythm, and voice. They challenge each other to break through musical roles—the voice becomes percussion, electronics breathe, the marimba whispers.
Dries van Elten is a musician, producer, and sound architect. From his Mayfield Studio and his work as a teacher and performer, he continually searches for the point where sound, emotion, and energy converge.
Ramon Lormans, an internationally acclaimed marimba and percussionist, moves between genres and worlds, always searching for new layers in rhythm and sound.
Rianne Wilbers (Rhiannin) uses her versatile voice to explore the space between classical, avant-garde, and free improvisation, where control and surrender intersect. Three musicians from diverse backgrounds collaborate to explore how rhythm, voice, and electronics challenge each other. Their interplay produces new sounds — precise, energetic and full of tension.
Friday, December 5 - LOBO / DI DOMENICO / EIMERMACHER - 8:30 PM ..............................(minimum) admission €8/4 student
Three fantastic musicians from the Brussels jazz/improv scene will be at POM to make a live recording of the concert. This will later be released on various media and websites. In short, be there to help them reach their full potential. All three have played at POM before, in various formations.
Giovanni Di Domenico (piano)
Giovanni Di Domenico (IT) is a pianist, performer, and composer. With a background in jazz, he has carved a unique path in the field of experimental music, drawing from a variety of influences: non-Western traditions (he spent his childhood between Libya, Cameroon, and Algeria), figures of free piano such as Borah Bergman, Cecil Taylor, and Paul Bley, as well as Debussy and Luciano Berio. His prolific output is expressed through numerous ensembles (Abschattungen, AufHeben, Bonjintan, Cement Shoes, Delivery Health, Going…), critically acclaimed solo recordings, and close collaborations with Jim O'Rourke, Tatsuhisa Yamamoto, Akira Sakata, Arve Henriksen, Alexandra Grimal, Nate Wooley, and Chris Corsano. He has also founded his own label, Silent Water, which hosts an eclectic and unclassifiable body of work.
João Lobo (drums)
From jazz to gnawa music, electro-acoustic trance to total improvisation, in solo or in a big band, collaborating on dance and theatre productions and making soundtracks for movies, João Lobo maintains a versatile career as a musician mainly playing the drums. He has released two records under his name: “Nowruz” in 2017 and “Simorgh” in 2020. He is the co-founder of Oba Loba, Going, Tetterapadequ, Norman, Mulabanda, and a proud member of Giovanni Guidi Trio, Manuel Hermia Trio, Punk Kong, An Pierlè&La Lumière, Daniele Martini Quartet. He has recorded more than 60 albums, some self-produced and others for labels such as ECM, Clean Feed, CamJazz, De Werf, El Negocito, three:four records, Challenge, NEOS. He has performed and/or recorded in many countries around the world with many musicians including Enrico Rava, Marshall Allen, Roswell Rudd, Carlos Bica, Nate Wooley, Maalem Hassan Zogari, Tatsuhisa Yamamoto, Thomas Morgan, Chris Corsano, and collaborates intensely with Norberto Lobo, Giovanni Di Domenico, Lynn Cassiers, Manolo Cabras and Giovanni Guidi.
Johannes Eimermacher (altsax)
Johannes Eimermacher (*1981 Münster, DE) studied jazz saxophone at the Folkwang Hochschule Essen (Germany). During this time he began collaborating with other disciplines like dance, theater, performance and film. For six years he was regularly working as a musician and performer at the Hessisches Landestheater Marburg. Since 2008 he lives in Brussels where he is involved in a wide variety of projects as a saxophonist, composer and improviser. He is the initiator and composer of a quartet with Gaspard Sicx, Emanuel Van Mieghem and Frans Van Isacker, as well as the saxophone quintet La Nuée (english: The Flock). Inspired by flocks of birds they research various modes of interaction between the musicians, as well as exploring the endless possibilities of soundproduction on the saxophone. Besides his projects he is constantly exploring and deepening various creative fields like taking classes in opera singing, saxophone, acoustic and electro-acoustic composition, counterpoint and harmony, and meditation.
Wednesday December 10
INTERLINIE
Interlinie is a compact concert tour aimed at cross-pollinating Dutch and Belgian improvisation, experimental music and jazz.
For the second edition (10 – 14 December 2025) the band Old Adam on Turtle Island will perform on 5 different stages both in Belgium and The Netherlands, joined by the collective G A B B R O – initiated by Hanne De Backer – in Amsterdam, Antwerp and Ostend.
During their tour they will be joined by Berlinde Deman (Eindhoven and Ghent) and Imane Guemssy (Antwerp).
Organised with the main goal to connect musicians and organisations from the improv scene, Interlinie 2025 is made possible with the support of Space is the Place, BIMHUIS, Ha Concerts, POM, Sound in Motion, Rataplan and KAAP.
Improvisational ensemble Old Adam on Turtle Island is a bold quartet led by John Dikeman, one of the most powerful tenors in free jazz. The band’s latest project – a song cycle released in 2025 on Relative Pitch Records – explores the legacies of colonization and the complex role of religion, offering a rich commentary on its dual power to uplift or oppress.
Dikeman’s mastery on saxophone is matched by his emergence as a captivating composer, as he guides his fellow improvisers through intense emotional soundscapes. The ensemble is rounded out by three equally formidable musicians: drummer Sun-Mi Hong, whose performances are a fixture at European festivals; pianist Marta Warelis, a versatile force in the European scene; and bassist Aaron Lumley, a Canadian who has made his mark in Amsterdam as both a performer and organizer.

Berlinde Deman earned her stripes in jazz, contemporary, and classical music, as a regular tuba player in the Flat Earth Society Orchestra and as a versatile musician in projects with Dave Douglas, the BaarsBuisDeman trio, Graindelavoix, Razen, and Machinefabriek, among others. Her quest for new soundscapes led her to the serpent, a rare 16th-century wind instrument—the mysterious precursor to the tuba.
In her solo program, she combines the deep breath of this ancient instrument with the layering of loops and effects. She stretches time, interweaves textures, and plays with resonances to open up a universe that escapes the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Here, between breath and electricity, between tradition and experiment, a captivating world of sound emerges that is as disconcerting as it is familiar. Her debut solo album, released in the fall of 2025 on the New York label Relative Pitch Records, centers on serpent and live electronics in all their rawness and subtlety. https://youtu.be/xjceBAvPJt8?si=ZrLfz-0M_hTVDnZp

Nobuka
Putting the punk back in ambient... The work of Michel van Collenburg (nobuka) pulls you in for a warm hug, while punching you in the face at the same time. Always looking to unsettle both themselves and the audience.
Creating a new reality out of breaking things down and putting them back together again, nobuka moves in the crevices between musique concrete, ambient, modern composition, minimalism and noise.
Michel works with anything that they can get their hands on: electric guitar, modular samplers and effects, piano, taperecorders, fieldrecordings, household objects, random things they found in the street... And collages all these elements into captivating soundscapes.
In January 2024 Michel presented a new live concept ‘Stranger’ at the WeSa Festival in Seoul, South Korea. A work that is based on the much heralded ‘l’etranger’ by Albert Camus, as well as the Dada movement and early avantgarde cinema.
In May 2025 Michel made the news when his music was used in the American hitseries ‘The Cleaning Lady’: https://nos.nl/artikel/2568971
On June 7th 2025 Michel released his latest studio album ‘monologue intérieur’, made after an unexpected breakup sent him in a downward spiral of depression and isolation. Calling it “the music I wish I never would’ve made”, this is not for the faint of heart. It is a challenging, dissonant, yet very emotional work.

Thursday, December 18 - Rosa Ronsdorf & Rosalie Wammes - 8:30 PM...............................entrance (minimum) € 8/4 student
Rosa Ronsdorf (born 1988) explores the endless possibilities of sound: from electronic experiments and feminist sound waves to trance states. She works with voice, synthesizers, eco-print, and processed samples. Her work takes place in concerts, performances, records, and installations. For her, sound is an invisible force that creates space for subjectivity, emotion, and connection.
Rosa graduated from the Dutch Art Institute in 2021 with a study on female pioneers in electronic music. She continued this research with The Listening Project, in which she focuses on composers such as Delia Derbyshire and Eliane Radigue. She also forms the duo Spill Gold with Nina de Jong and makes music for the theater, including with Orkater (XX), the Noord Nederlands Toneel (Witch Hunt), and the Nationale Toneel (Mother Courage).
For her residency at POM, Rosa brings an archive of field recordings: the melting of the Morteratsch Glacier, birds from the hills around Takeo (Japan), and subterranean drones from deep within the earth. From these non-human sounds, she creates ambient-drone music. Together with artist Rosalie Wammes (also part of The Listening Project) on harp, voice, and synthesizers, she explores a new sonic landscape during the residency.
