The Australian guitarist Jules Reidy's airy guitar figures weave in and out of the Italian drummer Andrea Belfi's syncopated, percussive patterns in this new collaboration. Last year, they released the critically acclaimed Dessus Oben Alto Up, and now they are coming to Basement in Copenhagen with their hypnotic, improvised music. Local residing Italian experimentalist Margo Sanda will open the night with her mixture of experimental pop hooks and free improvisation.

Andrea Belfi & Jules Reidy (IT/AU)
There is a ghostly quality to Andrea Belfi and Jules Reidy's 2024 collaborative release, Dessus Oben Alto Up. Reidy's microtonal and kaleidoscopic, feather-light guitar strokes weave in and out of Belfi's organic and ever-changing percussive patterns. It is almost impossible to tell that the album was created during a residency between two musicians who had barely met before pressing the record button.
The result is a dazzling, long-form improvisation, where the two musicians slowly waltz between floating, airy expressions and ominous, heavy dissonance, together creating a soundscape in which time momentarily stands still.
Andrea Belfi's distinctive sound emerges from the dynamic interplay between his fluid drumming and complex electronic soundscapes, where the manipulation of time creates a sense of stillness in motion, thus giving the music a ritualistic quality.
Jules Reidy challenges all preconceived notions of what guitar music can be. Their latest work is best described as a series of non-traditional song forms, combining wavering harmonies, rhythmic elasticity, and abstract narratives at the intersection of the acoustic and the processed.
Don't miss one of their rare duo concerts when Andrea Belfi & Jules Reidy visit Basement on March 13.
Margo Sanda (IT)
Margo Sanda is a multifaceted artist working across music production, composition, and multimedia arts. Raised in Lake Garda (IT), her artistic journey began with the Misto Mame collective in Rome, followed by experiences in Bristol, Berlin, and back in Italy. She currently resides in Copenhagen, Denmark, where she studies at the Rhythmic Music Conservatory.
With three EPs released, Margo explores the realms of avant-garde songwriting, free improvisation, and computer-based deconstruction, featuring various collaborations with musicians from the classical and jazz worlds.
Deeply inspired by non-Western rhythms, Margo weaves them into her music to challenge perception and expectation. Her vocals blend the dramatic depth of '60s-'70s Italian singers like Mina and Milva with contemporary spoken word.
Blending electronic effects with acoustic elements, she crafts emotionally powerful soundscapes, defined by a tactile, immersive production style where contrasts and sudden shifts play a central role
