Christophe Clébard
One and only, Christophe Clébard is a disco-punk eruption of Italian origin and Brussels' address. He welcomed me in his bright apartment for what was meant to be a tattoo appointment and an interview at the same time. Just instead of a tattoo, I got a burger. And some strong (Italian) coffee. Amongst a pile of slightly disturbing kitsch possessions and lost and found objects, we talked about, well, pretty much everything.
From time to time, I could hardly distinguish his voice from the loud noise breaking in from the Boulevard Lemonnier, and the contours of his linen yellow shirt from the glow of the late afternoon sun.

Pak Yan Lau
Driven by curiosity and a sense of possibility, Pak Yan Lau (BE/HK) has been actively making music in ensembles and at crossroads of disciplines. Several days before her performance at KRAAK's 'Sonic Treatise', she shared with us some inspiring insights in her solo, sound art and improvisation-infused, practice.

GOODIEPAL
The documentary 'The Goodiepal Equation' portrays a highly original and somewhat curious figure in contemporary music and art – the Danish/Faroer artist Goodiepal. He is a loyal friend, a philantrope and a hacker and his personality and mystery is an essential part of his theories. His unconventional way of living is a crucial part of his art practice, and is all about bright imagination, genuine altruism and empathy. One of his recent projects is the band Goodiepal & pals. It acts as a refugee organisation, disguised as a contemporary Tek-Rock-Band - conducted by Goodiepal. All the money that band makes goes straight to stranded refugees. The band have been active for 2 1/2 year and has toured Europe intensively.
Goodiepal is one of the guests for the Eastern Daze Festival: on the first day the documentary will be screened at KASKcinema, in presence of the film director Sami Sänpäkkilä. On the second day Goodiepal & Pals will be performing at TramZwart.
This article offers as personal take on Goodiepal’s practice.
