RUISKAMER is not your average concert series. It’s a space where your ears get trained to listen anew. In the intimate MIRY Concert Hall, VIERNULVIER and MIRY open a room full of experiment, minimalism and radical sound worlds. Acclaimed avant-gardists share the stage with fresh talent: a dialogue between generations, traditions and disciplines. RUISKAMER proves its essence: friction as the source of renewal.
Charlemagne Palestine & Seppe Gebruers / Brìghde Chaimbeul
atonal magic and hypnotic smallpipes
01.10.2025
Charlemagne Palestine and Seppe Gebruers bring four grand pianos into dialogue, each with its own eccentric tuning. Their music shifts between silence and excess, between mystical ritual and playful chaos. Palestine’s theatrical universe of stuffed animals and shamanic energy meets Gebruers’ precise, quarter-tone explorations. Their recent live release Beyondddddddd The Notessssss sets the tone: elusive, overwhelming, larger than music itself. Together, they produce a sacred and mischievous sound bath.
In contrast stands Brìghde Chaimbeul, a visionary on the Scottish smallpipes. Her trance-inducing drones and liquid melodies stretch the definition of folk into something entirely new. Influences from ambient, electronics and experimental composition flow through her understated virtuosity.
Masayoshi Fujita / Bertel Schollaert & Hein Devos + GAME
music as renewal
30.10.2025
Inspired by the flight of migratory birds, Japanese vibraphonist and marimba player, Masayoshi Fujita, weaves ambient, minimalism and jazz into textured soundscapes. Contributions from Moor Mother and Fujita’s own father on saxophone add another layer to Migratory, his latest album released on Erased Tapes and born after his return to Japan.
Bertel Schollaert and Hein Devos build a dark, physical sonic architecture.
Saxophones are stretched, twisted and electronically manipulated into immersive sound environments. Blending strict composition with spontaneous exploration, their sound resonates with visceral force.
Support act GAME opens the evening with a glimpse into Ghent’s experimental scene.
