TELDERMAN
Rogier: “In the series ‘miniatures’ I play intimate piano soloconcerts in unique settings, like someone’s livingroom. A piano solo concert with musical miniatures, each grasping a different moods, emotions or textures. As this project transforms everyday spaces into intriguing live concert venues, it also brings people closer together through music. Stepping into the intimate setting of a livingroom compels humility, which you open up your home to invite friends and music fans. A memorable experience to share with all those present”. Rogier Telderman piano, compositions

BAŁDYCH – COURTOIS – TELDERMAN THE REINVENTED PIANO TRIO
The Polish violinist Adam Bałdych, cellist Vincent Courtois from Paris and Dutch pianist and initiator Rogier Telderman are transforming the age-old classical formation. Three strong, independent personalities composing new sounds for this exciting group. The supertrio is currently recording their debutalbum, to be released in 2020.
Thanks to their genuine musical curiosity, shared ideas on sound, impact of contrast and silence are combined with attractiveness. Where freedom is paradoxically managed with utmost rigour and attentiveness. Or in the words of Jazzenzo Magazine “Baldych-Courtois-Telderman produces musical poetry of the highest level”. The musicians released music on prestigious labels such as ECM and ACT records, and collaborated with artists like Marius Neset, Louis Sclavis, Thomas Strønen, Michel Petrucciani.

If you need to categorize these three inventive musicians, you cannot avoid the use of the word ‘super’. A super trio therefore. Rinus van der Heijden, Jazznu

He finds finds value in creating music which has a distinct personal character, and music that communicates with its audience. On the acclaimed debut album ‘Contours’ (2015) with his trio, All About Jazz wrote “an album notable for its varied musical and emotional range as well as for its excellent musicianship”. A composer who doesn’t shun adventure or the use of beautiful sound-colours, and whose refreshing style was quickly noticed by the international community.

The majestic beauty of the composition of the Dutch piano master Telderman brings to mind the greatest achievements of world jazz pianism. [...] Perfect, fully idiomatic, modern jazz played with panache and wonderful freedom. Tomasz Pierchala, 12on14 Jazz Club

Telderman pours out melodies like a heady wine from a bottle that’ll never even come close to reaching empty. The pianist leads a trio that keeps every glass full... Seriously enchanting. Bird is the Worm, David Sumner

man vs machine
TELDERMAN
TELDERMAN man vs machine is investigating the pivotal balance between music and technology. Between the difference of being human and machines. Together with visual artist Erik van de Wijdeven, pianist TELDERMAN is exploring ways in visuals, artificial intelligence, magnetic resonators and interfaces such as Ableton to influence musical outcomes. TELDERMAN man vs machine is currently preparing both live shows, as well as an unique installation. As the Yamaha Disklavier opens up new worlds for the acoustic piano, and paves ways in which the pianist can interact as a performer. Embracing technology to pave the way forward. This process of research and innovation will be documented in a minidocumentary. TELDERMAN man vs machine is supported by the municipality of Tilburg.
