For lovers of Grandbrothers, Nils Frahm and Philip Glass. Pass by for this amazing artist from Amsterdam: XA4

Ritterstraße 26

Amsterdam based artist XA4 released with the record label of Philip Glass, Orange Mountain Music in NYC. In 2023 XA4 toured extensively in the Netherlands and made appearances in New York. Right now he is on tour through Europe and the US. 17 March, XA4 will play an intimate concert in the lovely space "Playground" in Berlin. Before and after his show you can enjoy beautiful records, played by DJ Miss Terpentine. Program: Walk-in: 19:30 Concert: 20:15 - 21:30 DJ Miss Terpentine: 21:30 End time: 22:30 The style of piano master and composer XA4 is hard to define. That is because it is unique in it's kind. Acoustic piano is mixed with electronic extensions and soundscapes created with recorded samples from his old Bechstein grand piano. Influences in his music range from minimal and ambient to classical and electronic. Xavier Boot, also known as XA4, started to play piano at a young age and soon showed prodigious talent. He studied classical piano at the Amsterdam and Düsseldorf conservatories and did a master in live electronic music. Xavier won various prizes for playing piano in his home country the Netherlands and he also composed music for prize winning films. Xavier has a Dutch-Indonesian background and gets inspiration from Gamelan music for his compositions. Website XA4: www.xa4music.com The press about XA4: “Without mincing words, XA4 pulls us into a piano piece you'd rather expect to hear at the Concertgebouw. In his own first composition, the pianist squeezes into just a few minutes as much tempo, jazz, deep feeling and passion as Mozart does into a symphony. .... Keith Jarret makes piano music by going back and forth on the bridge between classical music and jazz, XA4 plays on the bridge between Keith Jarret and industrial techno.” 3voor12-NPO“For fans of Glass' music, the versions of the two Etudes have the surprising element of the electronic arrangements with which they have been treated, especially in No 14, which starts immediately with electronics, while the process is more gradual in No 2. The real surprise, however, lies in the two pieces of his own, Floating Fields and Pro Gre Tra Gre and their distinctly Glassian language.” minimalismore“Boot's powerful left hand, with euphoniously ringing basses as a solid foundation for a furiously virtuosic performance of Chopin's devilishly tricky notes, settled this titanic battle in the pianist's favour..., the true master pianist who allowed the love of musicto prevail, as in the encore, in which Boot delightfully minnows the keys in an intimate entanglement of muse, musicand maestro”. Vierklank About DJ Miss Terpentine Miss Terpentine is a house dj from Amsterdam ( Christian van Kalken ) who will take you on a musical journey with surprises.His theme is Animalistic Funky Behaviour. Deliciously rude charming and elegant with hard hitting grooves.
