Noise lost it's power to insult. Silence hasn't.

About Me

Kreng started out as a strictly sample-based project, incorporating sounds from various sources: free-jazz, new electronic generated sounds, classical modernism & vintage geographical recordings. The project became a very cinematic, theatrical device that has been used by various directors. Kreng has now scored more that 15 theatre- & danceproductions, most of them produced by Abattoir Fermé's director Stef Lernous & free-lance man Piet Arfeuille. Lately Kreng has been involved in some collaborative projects with various members of Belgiums' musical underground. Among them Sakuran & drummer Eric Thielemans.Future projects include remixes for Badawi (= Raz Mesinai who also records for John Zorn's Tzadik label) & Thor_Ltd. (Check him out in my friends-list; sheer genius). Currently I'm also working on an album for the excellent Miasmah label (artistic co-ordination by Erik Skodvin, aka Svarte Greiner / Deaf Center)
