'THERE ARE THOSE WHO CONFORM AND THOSE WHO CONFRONT AND NEVER STOP TRANSFORMING'.
Belgian drummer/percussionist Karen Willems is active in various fields. Her expressive, physical drum and percussion technique brought her to Yuko, Zita Swoon Group, Zwerm, Alabaster DePlume, among others.
With her project Inwolves she took the first steps towards the discovery of the essence of her own music. Her solo project ‘Terre Sol’ elaborates on this.
Karen's work challenges traditional ideas of music and storytelling, inviting audiences into a space where sound, space, and human presence collide.
Eccentricity and playfulness go hand in hand with exercises in tension and release, and calls for connection in antisocial times.
