BL!NDMAN

In 1988 Eric Sleichim founded BL!NDMAN, a saxophone quartet with a traditional line-up, which develops new performance techniques and substantially expands the repertoire for the instrument by continually exploring the boundaries with other disciplines. In 2008 BL!NDMAN became a collective in which the 20 years of stage experience accumulated by the original quartet – BL!NDMAN [sax] – is shared with three young quartets: BL!NDMAN [drums], BL!NDMAN [vox] and BL!NDMAN [strings]. A collective composed entirely of quartets: unique in the music world.
Four quartets, two generations, countless possibilities for ‘unheard of’ cross-fertilisation. A highly individual repertoire of old and new.
As always, BL!NDMAN embraces other artistic disciplines, delights the eye, questions the ear and considers experiment of paramount importance.
BL!NDMAN [sax] is Koen Maas (soprano saxophone), Roeland Vanhoorne (alto saxophone), Piet Rebel  (tenor saxophone), Raf Minten (baritone saxophone)
BL!NDMAN [vox] is Griet de Geyter (soprano), Gunther Vandeven (counter tenor),
Kevin Skelton (tenor), Tiemo Wang (bass)
BL!NDMAN [drums]:Tom De Cock, Yves Goemaere, Hannes Nieuwlaet, Ruben Cooman
BL!NDMAN [strings]: Floris Uytterhoeven en Femke Verstappen (violin), Ine Kuypers (viola) en Joyce Kuipers (cello).
