Poor Isa

Let's Drink The Sea And Dance

Poor Isa is the duo of Frederik Leroux and Ruben Machtelinckx. On their split album when the shade is stretched both play the banjo. For this project the banjo forms the base once more, supplemented with woodblocks as a distinct sound and smaller acoustic effects. This duo is built on prepared banjo and woodblocks, a combination that expresses a surging condition in which silence and sound are equivalent. From improvisations, elements are magnified, isolated or developed further until rippling compositions arise in which subtle and hardly audible sounds come to the surface. The project resulted in 'let's drink the sea and dance', a bundle of nine compositions. The album title is inspired by the work of Philippe Vandenberg.
