Bending the Tonic by Guy De Bièvre is a blues in 144 bars or what happens when you read Schoenberg while listening to Bukka White. In analogy to the movie 'Fantastic Voyage' (1966), the musicians are miniaturized on a temporal and on a vertical harmonic scale and injected into 12 standard blues bars.
The work is presented as a double CD with two different live recordings, made in November 2004 (in Gent) and January 2005 (in New York.)
performers are Stephie Büttrich and Jolei, voice; Anne La Berge, flutes; Peter Zummo, trombone; Mustafa Ahmed and Michael Weilacher, percussion; Xavier Verhelst and Ernie Brooks, electric bass; Guy De Bièvre, electric guitar.

The Very Slow Disco Suite by Guy De Bièvre is a musical exploration of extremely slowed down disco music. I found that slowing down (preferably simple) musical events causes otherwise very discrete properties to emerge.
Three musicians and a microcontroller are the explorers of the score and of the material that runs as a backing track. The microcontroller is hereby the central arranger.
The CD is assembled from live recordings at Stichting Intro in Maastricht and Roulette in New York
performers are Anne La Berge, flutes; Peter Zummo, trombone; Xavier Verhelst, electric bass; J.D. Parran, reeds and flute and Guy De Bièvre, lap steel.
