De Beren Gieren

For post-contemporary jazz trio De Beren Gieren, minimalism and explosive energy remain key ingredients that define their interaction. Also, it might be no coincidence that this trio is based in Belgium, the home of surrealism and techno music. ‍

De Beren Gieren unites three musicians - Fulco Ottervanger, Lieven Van Pée and Simon Segers - highly active in the European music scene, but it is within this band their versatility flows freely. Their music is multi-layered, improvised and visionary, full of quirky twists and unpredictable turns, always looking for unfamiliar territory to explore. Looking for references? What about Visible Cloaks, Radiohead, Erik Satie and Jon Hassell? In March of 2024, De Beren Gieren released their seventh full album What Eludes Us via Sdban Ultra, receiving multiple four star-reviews in the Benelux and presenting the music on stages in Belgium, the Netherlands and Scotland, a.o. The band will be touring with this new album throughout 2025 and 2026.
