A varied and elegant album in the finest jazz tradition
Jazzism

Wildflower is an album that celebrates the surprises life sometimes can offer.

Saxophonist Patrieck Bonnet and guitarist Casper Christensen first met in The Hague during the winter of 2019. They performed several concerts together in Bruges, shortly before Casper moved back to Denmark. Time passed, until chance brought them together again in February 2024 in the vibrant bustle of Paris. This unexpected encounter sparked a musical reconnection resulting in the release of Wildflower.

The energy bursts forth from the very first note, the combination of tenor sax and guitar is perfect, both with a great sound and a swinging rhythm section.
A beautiful album played by four very talented musicians. The quartet breathes, listens to each other and plays pure jazz in a way that perfectly combines the past and the present.

In 2019, Patrieck started working as a bandleader and formed his own group. This project became one of his most important musical statements, this project shows what Patrieck stands for musically.

A long-held desire of Patrieck was to get more in touch with his grandfather, composer Karel van Dijck (1927-1995).
So in August 2021, he released his debut album, “Homage,” with the Zennez label. “Homage” is an ode to the composer and his grandfather Karel van Dijck. Patrieck’s arranged three suites by Van Dijck and added two compositions of his own.

“Hommage” can be thought of as a “Coming of Age story” in which Van Dijck’s originally classical suites are performed with respect for the original, but later subtly transition into Jazz. Gradually while listening to Patrieck’s debut album, his own sound emerges. “Homage To One Who Has Flown Away” is a compelling story, with playful but also melancholic elements, that is carried out with attention and care.

Patrieck Bonnet is joined by some of the most in-demand musicians on the Dutch jazz scene.

Dispokinesis

Posture – Movement – Breath – Freedom Of Expression

”The body is the primary instrument
G.O. van de Klashorst

Dispokinesis is a posture & movement therapy especially developed for musicians by G.O. van de Klashorst. The term ‘dispokinesis’ is derived from the Latin word ‘disponere’, meaning ‘to have at one’s disposal’, and the Greek word ‘kinesis’, meaning ‘movement’.

Dispokinesis helps to (re)discover your personal and original sense of posture and movement, allowing you to access an uninhibited physical and mental state to be free of expression.

In other words; we find our disposition, to be disposed.

Indications for Dispokinesis are:

Problems/pain with playing in sitting or standing for a while.
Pain after practising your instrument. (shoulder, back, wrists, elbows)
Nerve Inflammation
Only being able to play after long warm up.
Embouchure problems
Air support problems
Tone problems
Trouble with playing dynamics; unable to blow softly or playing forte is enduring.
Problems with fast passages
Overload due to performance drive and over ambition.
One day everything works smoothly on your instrument/voice, the other day nothing works.
Stage fright
Music doesn’t give joy anymore
Handling pressure as a performing musician

Dispokinesis can be of great value for the rising as well for the established performing artist.

Special attention is given to the musician’s individual mental & physical situation and the ergonomics of their instrument.

What to expect in a first lesson/session of Dispokinesis:

The musician’s matters are being explored during an preliminary interview, with subjects such as playing habits, practice habits, views on practicing, general working conditions, history of injuries, career development.

After this a posture and movement analysis of the musician in question will be made with and without the instrument to explore the musicians needs.

Next if necessary, it is about guiding the musician in (re)discovering his/her own disposition by means of dispo exercises and practical work with the instrument.

There’s no end to learning.

Testimonial Phoebe Kirrage

As a professional singer and teacher, I am always looking for ways to further develop my skills and musicality. Working with Patrieck has absolutely supported and enriched this process.

Before our sessions, I knew very little about dispokinesis, though I was immediately intrigued when I first learned about the practice. Through Patrieck’s clear, patient, and insightful approach, it has become an integral part of both my daily practice and my performances.

I often work within very demanding schedules, and incorporating the techniques and awareness I have learned from Patrieck has significantly improved both my work and overall well-being as a performer.

Phoebe Kirrage currently performs, or has performed, with companies and artists including Nederlandse Kamerkoor, NKK NXT, Nederlandse Reisopera, Consensus Vocalis, Wende Snijders, Froukje, Nederlands Blazers Ensemble, and Het Nederlandse Douane Orkest.
