Artvark - Four Fathers

In a hectic world full of temptations, Artvark goes its own way, in search of new music and new sounds. Inspired by composers such as Béla Bartók and Charles Mingus, the group presents 'Four Fathers' at Bimhuis, the long-awaited sequel to 'Mother of Thousand' and the second chapter of their trilogy, once again featuring a starring role for the rare slide saxophone.

Four Fathers

Artvark creates the ultimate soundtrack without a film, in which the melancholy of the blues is never far away. With this album, Artvark dives into the versatility of fatherhood, a theme that is as complex, raw, and tender as the sounds of their saxophones. The quartet approaches the saxophone formation as a living organism that transcends the boundaries of jazz and classical music, resulting in extensive sound textures, layered instrumentation, and subtle electronics.

Sensory total experience

For this special production, Artvark is surrounded by an artistic team: visual artist and concept developer Eric Magnée (who previously collaborated with Ben Wendel and Tin Men & The Telephone), scenographer Thyrza Coenraad, lighting designer Wijnand van der Horst, and sound designer Nikki Rutten. Together, they create a sensory total experience in which Artvark's central question resonates once again: how far does the world of four saxophones reach?
