D O W L N D R A K E
KLANG Collective
If you’re looking for a gently melancholic immersion in sound, D O W L N D R A K E is where you need to be. Soprano Annelies Van Gramberen and the multitalented Sim van Thienen take you on a journey through the refined melancholy of John Dowland, combining it with the existential lyricism of Nick Drake. Four centuries apart yet intimately connected, both are singer-songwriters in their way, ‘knights of melancholy’ who use sound to plumb the vulnerable depths of the human psyche. Expect a concert with a long, long afterglow.
Annelies Van Gramberen, voice, looped voices & synths
