Micro-percussion

Percussionist Tom De Cock will be taking his first full steps as a maker. He explores this area, starting from a hybrid micro-percussion instrument that he developed himself. He makes co-creations with other composer-performers. A collaboration with Benjamin Van Esser is based on the interaction between the player of the instrument and electronics that are controlled live. With Frederik Croene, Tom starts from a specific repertoire from music history, stripped down and put in an extremely minimalistic structure. ​Works by composers Andrea Mancianti and Eva Reiter will also be rehearsed and presented within the framework of the collaboration between Ictus and ChampdAction. These first collaborations lay the foundation of a repertoire for the developed instrument. The results will be used in the artistic scene and in the educational field in which Tom is active.
