Fan Club Orchestra (FCO) has its roots in collaborative performances and recordings that began taking place in the late ‘90s in Brussels. These continued into the second decade of the new millennium around Belgium and neighboring countries. At a time when large contemporary arts spaces were less professionalized, less obedient to funding and attendance numbers, and still attuned to their founding DIY impulses, FCO was able to nurture their nebulous cast of players with their unconventional ensemble of instruments to their own ends. The apparent informality of their performances, mixed with the sheer spectacle of their unfolding, transplanted the experimentalism of New York's downtown scene of the 1960s into the cracked consumer electronics period of new media art at the turn of the century.
A newly regrouped FCO now presents its album VL_Stay on 12th Isle. This iteration of FCO sees Laurent Baudoux joined by Ann Appermans on guitar and bass, and Zéphyr Zijlstra on trumpet. Appermans is an original FCO member as well as a frequent collaborator of Baudoux. Zijlstra is a jazz student at the Royal Conservatoire of Brussels. Recorded in just two weeks, the trio invokes the pedigree with which FCO first toyed, while sketching a continuity with new references.
