schroothoop ○ Tanz der Quallen

Belgian junk jazz trio schroothoop (which translates as ‘junk yard’) bring together multi-instrumentalists Rik Staelens (wind & string instruments), Timo Vantyghem (bass & thumb piano) and Margo Maex (percussion). Their new album called ‘MACADAM’ will be out April 📌 7 via Sdban Records, home of many strongholds in the lively contemporary Belgian jazz and groove scene. For this release we work together with Rebel Up, who released their previous EP.

In 2020, schroothoop first emerged with their much-acclaimed and infectious debut album Klein Gevaarlijk Afval (Small Hazardous Waste).

On their second album, to be released on April 7, schroothoop explore the vast sounds of discarded objects found on the macadam streets of Brussels. Wooden crates turn into guitars and lyres. Scrap metal becomes a thumb piano, a cimbalom, or percussion bells. Their compelling collection of semi-improvised songs is born out of several fruitful residencies and live performances during which Margo Maex, Rik Staelens and Timo Vantyghem dive deeper into the possibilities and unique timbres of their DIY instruments.

“Music on homemade instruments with a surprisingly good result” (De Standaard) 

“Schroothoop show that material limitation can be liberating and that sometimes
the source of new sounds is just old junk.”(Written in music).

“We assure you that this “scrap heap” is worth gold!“ (Le Grigri).
