Did you know that silent movies are still a thing? And who knew that diatonic accordion works so well in Baroque music?! And what's this about a Belgian footbass?
Benjamin Macke is a French accordionist, composer, teacher and Belgian basse au pied revivalist living in Belgium. His musical style is rather blended, having started out as a classical percussionist, jazz drummer and trombonist, he plays with a variety of musicians including his partner Birgit Bournauw, Flemish & Baroque bagpiper.
As well as Duo Macke-Bournauw, he is known for his playing with Balfolk band Shillelagh, various theatre & ensemble projects for audiences of all ages, and his solo movie-concert project Le Ciné-concert de Poche where he writes and performs sound tracks for silent movies.
Tune in this month for conversations about making connections with ourselves, our instruments, our audiences and our students and fellow musicians, and why this is so important not just in music, but in being part of a community.
