Eric Vloeimans Oliver's Cinema

Eric Vloeimans’s “Oliver’s Cinema” is a breathtaking cinematic concert experience that brings together the world‑renowned trumpeter—celebrated for a brilliant, versatile tone that seamlessly shifts from lyrical beauty to playful, fiery outbursts—with the haunting accordion of Tuur Florizoone (who inspired Vloeimans’s love of the instrument) and the innovative cello of Jörg Brinkmann. This trio, cleverly named as an anagram of Vloeimans’s own name, fuses lyrical trumpet lines with the melancholic charm of the accordion—described as “Belgian Yann Tiersen”—and Brinkmann’s bold, groove‑filled cello that pushes the instrument into unseen sonic territories. Vloeimans, a multiple‑award winner (Boy Edgar Prize, four Edisons, Bird Award) and a frequent headliner for projects such as Fugimundi and Gatecrash, explores new musical horizons with this dynamic partnership. Their 2013 debut album showcased a mosaic of compositions: L’Amour Des Moules by Florizoone, Fellini’s Waltz by Brinkmann, Vloeimans’s own “Majesteit” score, and evocative themes from “Rosemary’s Baby” and “Cinema Paradiso.” The follow‑up release, “ACT 2,” expands this cinematic soundscape with fresh, lush melodies and a special rendition of Nino Rota’s “Romeo & Juliet.” Florizoone brings international experience from scoring TV shows and films such as “Man bijt Hond” and the Moscow film “Collision,” while Brinkmann stretches the cello’s possibilities, turning intricate rhythms into accessible, groovy expressions. Together, they invite audiences to step into a world where trumpet, accordion, and cello collide in a rich, immersive tapestry that feels both familiar and thrillingly new.
