about the record

Pioen is the second album by Elisabeth Klinck and Nils Vermeulen. It was recorded in a small chapel at a monastery in the city center of Ghent.

A chapel, by nature, is a place of contemplation and meditation, which inevitably influenced the music. Movements slow down, attention is sharpened, and the overwhelming silence of the space becomes part of the music. Even when the music grows dense and heavy at times, there is an ever-present sense of closeness and intimacy. This is reinforced by the voice, which appears naturally throughout, not as a separate layer but as an extension of the instruments.

The pieces—this time more curated than on their previous album, Pair, Paire—arose from hours-long improvisations, where sound became space and space became sound.
