BIMHUIS TV Presents: Blood Cloud | The Impro Train

With the band of Jasper Stadhouders you can go in all directions: string and plucked instruments, drums, percussion and a self-built modular synthesizer together provide infinite musical inventions. Sometimes raw and perpendicular to each other, the other time flowing like oil in a pool of water, the next time exactly in between. The focus is on the contrast between the direct of the acoustic instruments and the indirect of the synthesizer.

Blood Cloud started as an improvisational unit in 2017. In 2018 they played at the DOEK festival This is Our Music, then took a two-year break and returned to the DOEK Festival LIVE! (2020). The band now plays compositions by Cor Fuhler and Sanne van Hek, as well as pieces by the band members themselves. Their repertoire continues to expand with new compositions and, automatically speaking, improvisations.

The name Blood Cloud is inspired by a Turkish-German man named Bulut, whom Stadhouders once met in Berlin. Bulut means cloud in Turkish. However, if you swallow the first u, it means blood in German.
