Kris Vanderstraeten

Kris Vanderstraeten is a Belgian improviser whose musical practice concentrates on percussion, objects and self-made sound sources. He investigates how small changes in physical gesture, surface and resonance can become the material of a spontaneous performance.

Working in acoustic and experimental-music settings, Vanderstraeten explores unconventional percussion alongside other improvisers. Rather than relying solely on conventional rhythms, his approach often foregrounds timbre, friction, sustained resonance and interaction between instruments.
