Co-production B-Classic & CCHA
This production was made possible with the support of the Flemish Community and Stad Hasselt
Three musicians. Two pianos. One electronic universe in between.
CCHA and B-Classic once again join forces for a new creation in which encounter becomes the point of departure. Two exceptionally versatile pianists and an electronic multi-instrumentalist explore and shift each other’s boundaries. What emerges is not a sum of styles, but an open workspace where virtuosity, imagination and sonic exploration continuously challenge one another.
Dorian Dumont
Dorian Dumont was born in Montpellier, where he received a classical piano education at the conservatory and graduated in 2005 with the highest distinction in piano and chamber music. Shortly afterwards, his focus shifted towards jazz and improvised music, which brought him to Brussels in 2008, where he has remained ever since. He completed his studies at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels and obtained his master’s degree in 2013.
Driven by a constant curiosity for new sounds, Dumont refuses to confine himself to a single genre. He moves freely between different musical worlds, developing a layered and highly personal playing style.
In recent years, he has gained recognition through ECHT!, a band that boldly dismantles the boundaries between jazz, electronic music and hip hop. Alongside this, he is involved in a wide range of projects, including Guillaume Vierset’s Edges, Easy Pieces with Ben Saugereau and Hendrik Lasure, and the Dario Congedo Trio. His solo album APHEXionS (2021), inspired by Aphex Twin, marks a new step: a space of tension between composition and improvisation, where electronic logic and piano playing converge.
Anthony Romaniuk
Keyboard player Anthony Romaniuk has developed an exceptionally broad and idiosyncratic artistic path, driven by an unrelenting search for new musical perspectives.
His repertoire spans several centuries: from Byrd and Bach to Beethoven, Chopin and Brahms, often performed on historical instruments, extending further towards Ligeti, Crumb and contemporary forms of ambient and noise music. This versatility results in a playing style where classical precision and improvisational freedom reinforce one another.
Romaniuk grew up in Australia, where he initially became fascinated by jazz. He studied classical piano at the Manhattan School of Music in New York before specialising in early music in the Netherlands, focusing on harpsichord and fortepiano. Alongside this, he further developed his practice in improvisation, indie rock and electronic music.
As a performer, he regularly appears at renowned venues including Wigmore Hall, the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Bozar and the Berliner Konzerthaus. He has collaborated with artists such as Patricia Kopatchinskaja, Reinoud Van Mechelen, Vox Luminis and Efterklang. His debut album Bells (2020, Alpha Classics) reflects his artistic signature: a hybrid form in which repertoire and improvisation merge through the sonic worlds of different keyboard instruments.
Dijf Sanders
Multi-instrumentalist and composer David ‘Dijf’ Sanders has developed a distinctive and adventurous musical language, characterised by an open-minded approach and a strong sensitivity to sound and context. He has collaborated with artists including Warhaus, Sylvie Kreusch, Mattias De Craene and Wim Vandekeybus, while simultaneously building a strong body of solo work.
His music often originates from travel and encounters. For Java (2017), he travelled to Indonesia, while a later stay in Nepal formed the basis for Puja (2020), a layered and ritualistic universe in which field recordings, monastic chants, repetitive structures and electronic textures converge.
With Tangkoa II (2026), Sanders continues this trajectory. Inspired by Vietnam and other Asian influences, he creates an organic electronic landscape in which nothing is ever entirely fixed. Samples, synths and live effects form an ever-evolving composition, driven by improvisation, trance-like rhythms and a subtle fusion of jazz and electronic music.
