  • Bio

    .. .... ....The ....uilleann pipes.... (Irish bagpipes) discovered Raphaël in 1989 after hearing a broadcast of ..Liam O Flynn...... and ..Donal Lunny......'s concert at the ....Dranouter Folkfestival........ 1988. A few years later Raphaël became involved in jam sessions with musicians who later formed the band ....Shantalla......... He also learned a lot from ..Tommy Keenan...... (Paddy's brother). In 1991 he started a duo called ....Cú Chullainn........ (Irish music), together with ..Sacha Van Loo....... Later on the duo Cú Chullainn became the trio ....Crónán........ with ..Greet Garriau...... (....Fluxus........) as a third musician. In these bands Raphaël played the uilleann pipes as well as ....whistles...., ....kantele.... (Finnish harp), ....jews harps...., ....kaval.... (bulgarian flute) and ....sälgeflöt.... (swedish overtone flute). At the same time Raphaël discovered the Siberian 'throat singing' ....vocal styles from Tuva.... and the Khakass zither ....chatkhan............. .... ........ ....In august 1998, he taught a 'throat singing workshop' at the ....Gooik Folk Music course......... From then on, Crónán became the new sextet ....Keukkojoen......... This band is specialised in many different vocal traditions from Europe and beyond. From 2001, he became one of the gaiteros in ....A Banda........, and later on in ....A Contrabanda......... In 2003 he replaced ..Jowan Merckx...... in some concerts with the project ....Profielen/Perfiles........ with ..Wannes Van De Velde, Amparo Cortes...... and ....Ialma................. .... ........ ....Since 2004 he has been experimenting with ....vocal techniques from Sardinia.... (hopefully resulting in a new band called ....Tenore e Cuncordu de Marinis Santu Seminis TeCuMaSaS........), and in 2006 with Chinese woodwind instruments ....Bawu.... and ....Hulusi..... He also took up and promotes the ....Muchosa...., one of the old style Belgian bagpipes with some microtonal possibilities which is being revived. ....OSUNA........ is a flexible project depending on the demand or personal feelings, ranging from a duo project to a quintet performing meditative listening or dance music based on tradititional vocal and instrumental music styles and improvisation. .. .. Recently the "OSuna project" grew into a marriage between Anatolian and Siberian music, exploring the rich harmonies and dialogues between ....saz...., ....tanbur.... and ....chatkhan...., with surprising trips ranging from Tuvinian overtone singing, vocals from the "Mediterranean Zone", Nordic cattle calls, sean-nós songs, medieval ballads.... with sublte accompaniment of the persian drum ....tombak.... and ....double bass............ .. OSuna ontwikkelde zich tot een Belgisch project dat Anatolische snaren kruist met die uit Zuid-Siberië. Dit levert een muzikale hybride-zijderoute op met verrassende omwegen langs Tuvaanse keelzangers, Turkse minnestrelen, Mediterrane, Scandinavische en middeleeuwse ballades, die niet alleen puur traditionele bewerkingen opzoekt, maar ook geïmproviseerde momenten om bij weg te dromen. .. .... ........ ......Here above are four samples of what I "cook" in my living room. Tracks will be changed frequently........... .... ............ ........WE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR MALE SINGERS INTERESTED IN SARDINIAN POLYPHONY........ & living near Antwerp/Ghent/Brussels........ .. .. ............ .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ......View my page on ..Overtone Music Network........ ..

    Now it’s more fun to be a bagpipe-player than ever: choose your key, choose your sound, blow or don’t – have more freedom on stage and in studio. With redpipes - the first stage-suitable electronic bagpipe.
