BIMHUIS Productions | REFLEX: Sun-Mi Hong: Invisible Ropes

Super talent on drums reflects on the world of today in her new project. Sun-Mi Hong composition/drums, John Dikeman saxophone, Mette Rasmussen alto saxophone, Alistair Payne trumpet, Jozef Dumoulin piano, fender rhodes, synthesizer, John Edwards double bass Jazz finds roots in activism. In challenging or bypassing conventions. A conversation with the status quo. Through improvisation, jazz is constantly exploring new forms of interaction. This quest, and the conversations that are found along the way, are central to REFLEX. In the series we invite musicians to create new work that reflects on the world and its society. The curator of this new edition in the series is drummer Sun-Mi Hong. Hong’s album A Self-Strewn Portrait (2021) received the Edison Jazz Award in the National category. Her most recent album Third Page: Resonance appeared on the international label Edition Records. For REFLEX, Sun-Mi will present Invisbile Ropes. Drummer Sun-Mi Hong has gathered a previously unseen constellation of personalities for her installment of REFLEX. The last few years has seen Hong exploring the corners of the European scene while further expanding her musical palette. This project is a testament to that journey. The drummer has invited an extremely versatile group of six improvisers and artists, allowing exploration for new textures and dynamics. From linear serenity, to choppy waters and blood curdling screams. “Expect to have the carpet pulled out from under you.” – Sun-Mi Hong REFLEX is a BIMHUIS Productions series and is made possible with help of Ammodo.
