From their debut in 2010 on, Brussels-based Razen have aimed at using the unique timbral and drone characteristics of their chosen string and wind instruments in improvised, instinctive music that mixes pre-industrial, spectral and ethnic dream tones with trance and medieval mysticism. Razen was originally the duo of Brecht Ameel and Kim Delcour, and although they have over the years often added people to their lineup, only Ameel and Delcour will appear here. They have built a strong reputation in Belgium and abroad, based on their recorded output as well as their ever-changing, extremely engaging, even overpowering live shows.
