Jean D.L. is simultaneously a musician and a video artist, but the approach he has to organized sounds and organized images seems reversed – his music, either when he plays the guitar or when he uses field recordings, is an imagetic and somewhat hazy soundscape, while is musically structured films try to provoque abstract emotions through the titillation of memories and fantasies. 

Jean D.L. has worked in solo but has also collaborated with the likes of Julia Kent (Anohni and the Johnsons), Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth), Margaret Hermant (Echo Collective), Mauro A. Pawlowski (Deus), Karen Willems and more.

De Vlaamse Primitieven is the alter-ego of Antwerp-based guitarists Jan Boudart & Freek Vreys. 

Through this mutual love they decided to start improvising in a freer direction. This led to many all-night jam-sessions where they developed their own vision of how to approach improvisation. The missing link came when they discovered the music of the masters: John Fahey, Robbie Basho, Bert Jansch and John Renbourne. The last couple of years they dove deep into the heart of 'American primitivism', 'British Isle folk' and 'minimalism'. Studying the music of the above-mentioned masters was a labor of love that gave birth to an obsession; to not only preserve this beautiful take on guitar-playing but to blend 'American primitivism' with the more airy/melodic touch of 'British Folk' while still retaining their roots in jazz and improvisation.
