Palinckx biography, Palinckx discography
"Free Link Music," as they like to call themselves, fits very well to describe music made by Palinckx, an extreme and interesting experimental band.Bert Palinckx: Double bass, bass guitar; Han Buhrs: Vocals and Alan Purves: Drums.PSF: What do you think about Dutch "musical life"?Palinckx as a band very often cross paths with groups like the Ex and Blast in the European circuit.What do you think about the legacy of people like "old generation" radical improvisers (Mengelberg, Bennink, Breuker, Baars, Flemish Fred van Hove...Guus Jansen, Maarten Altena, in whose groups Jacq has been playing in the past).Ensemble (as well as earlier projects with Mondriaan Quartet) there's a very good relationship and a very good understanding of what we've got in common and how we can work together.Andriessen (or by youngers Cornelis de Bondt, Diderik Wagenaar)?His seventies groups like Hoketus or Orkest De Volharding seems an interesting point of departure for many Dutch independent groups (like, LOOS ensemble).I'm sure also the other Palinckx members will freely admit his importance, if it were only for freeing the Dutch music scene from its boring (to say it roughly) Pre War romantic copying of French or German composer schools.On the other hand, I think that although Andriessen likes to refer to rock influences himself, he doesn't know thoroughly what it really is about.Apart from Dense and Intense we are occasionally also interested in smaller sounds and even songs...PSF: Regarding links with old improvised scene, it seems that many musics are dealing with a sense of humour (for me, in Palinckx too), and a kind of "anything goes" overinclusive aesthetics.For me, humour is not something you're looking for, it's what you find...Holland, but our country is terribly flat and organised, (over)populated by commercants.If you live below sealevel and have no mountains to climb, there's only one way to get a bit of an overview: keep moving, don't stick to one idea, one point of view.Anthony Kok (an interesting but not decisively important Dada poet from Tilburg, Palinckx' hometown).PSF: How about The Beach Boys?American music, be it blues, funk, soul, hiphop and also jazz: the cradle of any important recent music.PSF: In which manner is it possible to think Palinckx as a product of Dutch counterculture?The Provo's sure brought some life into that.Electric Circus is unknown to me.PSF: How do you work the pieces?Do you have charts, scores or diagrams?Is there a lot of improvisation?It's a never ending process...What do you want to know?And though I try to be personal in my lyrics, they are not necessarily about me.My lyrics are not an attempt to write poetry, these words are meant to be sung, so that sound, rhythm and tonality are as important as their formal meaning.Although I think he wrote that with a bit of a tongue in cheek, I still tend to agree with him.Eastern Europe mixing in different cultural elements?Because we tour a lot in Czech and other Eastern European countries, we run across the local scenes regularly.It's a vivid scene that beautifully combines a long stretching cultural history with information and influences that have become available for them relatively recently.Palinckx consists of five people who have joined forces in order to make music.Together they create the specific Palinckx sound.During the more recent period of its twenty years existence Palinckx has increasingly focused on songs, although its roots in improvised and contemporary music have never been abandoned.The freedom to include any suitable idea or concept has led Palinckx to present its work as free link music.It sounds tougher than normal music, somewhat sweeter than noise, louder than lullabies and hardly ever as smooth as jazz.The group refuses to choose between dirt and beauty.Available Media:No media is available at this time for this artist.Netherlands, Palinckx, the creature of brothers Jacques and Bert Palinckx, is also very frustrating to follow.Palinckx circa 1983 in Tillburg, Netherlands.At that time, they formed the label Vonk and started to record their projects.Stick Men and Zero Pop).Keyboardist Cor Fuhler joined in 1994 and the group's vision c ...UK, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, More...Palinckx consists of five people who have joined forces in order to make music.Together they create the specific Palinckx sound.The group may be labelled as a rockband, an improvising quartet or a modern music ensemble ...During the more recent period of its fifteen years existence Palinckx has increasingly focused on songs, although its roots in improvised and contemporary music have never been abandoned.The freedom to include any suitable idea or concept has led Palinckx to present its work as free link music.The group refuses to choose between dirt and beauty.Palinckx neemt eigen geluidstechnicus mee.Palinckx
