ZONDERWERK
ZONDERWERK

ZONDERWERK creates soundtracks for paintings, graphic novels, architecture, installations and other visual work. The addition of music and sound design to the work of art creates a new dimension and amplifies the experience of the beholder. It’s an extra layer, an alternative storyline outside the frame. By skilfully using field recordings, old samplers, reel to reel tape and other enigmatic machines, every still life is getting a unique composition, a telltale form of music that investigates how texture translates to sound. ZONDERWERK is a duo consisting of Linde Carrijn and Dijf Sanders who started this project during the pandemic as a way of exploring their relationship as creative partners.

LINDE CARRIJN
Linde Carrijn started as a four year old violin player and graduated from KASK Ghent as a Master in Dramatic Arts. Nowadays she works as an actress (e.g. Compagnie Cecilia) and as composer of scores for theatrical work and pieces for dance (LAP) and performance (Robbert&Frank Frank&Robbert). With her project Brik Tu-Tok, a performative concert, she composes and sings. This duo moulds the theatrical with the musical into a new absurd universe, where eccentric characters sing out their souls. Brik Tu-Tok is poetic, brutal and humorous. In 2021 their second album The Giggle Gallery was released, accompanied with a short film. In her work Linde always tries to find a blend between musicality and theatricality.

DIJF SANDERS
Multi-instrumentalist and composer David ‘Dijf’ Sanders combines a broad mix of styles with a boundless artistic approach full of multicultural blends. The Ghent based artist has always been working on various projects, collaborations or productions at the same time—lately he worked with Warhaus, Sylvie Kreusch, Mattias De Craene’s MDC III and Wim Vandekeybus (Die Bakchen—Lasst uns tanzen), Whispering Sons, to name a few—but that did not prevent him from releasing solo records as well. Dijf raised excitement with the exotica-oriented Moonlit Planetarium (2016), an album that created an experimental clash between percussive, ethnic sounds and rather Western beats, occasionally topped off with his mysterious vocals. After the eclectic gem Java (2017), Dijf Sanders brings another musical adventure from another part of the world. This time it is a world infused by Nepalese, Tibetan, Chinese and Indian culture. Having traveled to Nepal, Dijf has used his field recording and impressions to create a new universe together with drummer Simon Segers, saxophone player Mattias De Craene and sitar player Nicolas Mortelmans.
