Trapper Drone Orchestra

Recensie: Trapper op State-X New Forms 2012

VPRO’s 3voor12’s recensie van ons optreden als Stargazer (Trapper + Slyder) op vrijdag 14 december in het Paardcafé:

“ Het Paardcafé is de hele avond goed gevuld. Er staan drie Haagse acts op het programma die prima binnen het concept van het festival passen. Het Paardcafé wordt vooral gebruikt voor de meer sfeervolle en ingetogen acts: een leuke afwisseling als je deze plek vooral kent van het aangeschoten studentenvolk dat er ieder weekend rondhangt. Iets na negenen is het de beurt aan het Haagse Stargazer, een samenwerkingsverband tussen het drone-orkest Trapper en improvisatieband Slyder. Hoewel een act waarin drones - het aanhoudend gebruik van een noot of akkoord tijdens een muziekstuk - centraal staan op papier erg hoogdrempelig overkomt, weet Stargazer duidelijk stilte af te dwingen bij het publiek. Wellicht omdat de muziek van Stargazer een meditatieve werking heeft: je krijgt gedurende het optreden zowaar het gevoel alsof je in de buik van een walvis zit. Bovendien weet de band op slimme wijze spanning op te bouwen door middel van stuwende baslijnen, dissonante klanken en mystieke vocalen. Wanneer deze spanning uitmondt in een stevige improvisatiepartij aan het slot van het optreden weet je dat je hier te maken hebt met één van de bijzondere pareltjes van de State-X New Forms programmering.
