The Crappy Mini Band

SoundShots presents a live recording by Pak Yan Lau as The Crappy Mini Band taken on April 17th, 2011, at Les Ateliers Claus in Brussels.

Pak Yan Lau (BE/HK) is part of the Brussels underground crowd. Her music spans different horizons with improvisation and sound as main focus. Taking the extraordinary out of the ordinary and creating little sound mosaics in a minimal, poetic way, while exploring the vast spectrum of sonar possibilities is the best way to describe her path. She is active in different projects from grooving (Going) till abstract structuring (Lauroshilau, Duo pour 454 Chordes) made music for dance theater, shadow theater, photographs and documentary. Toured Europe and Japan, and shared stages with musicians such as Paolo Angeli, Lynn Cassiers, João Lobo, Nico Roig, Eric Thielemans, Chris Corsano, Yuko Oshima, Andrea Parkins, Mathieu Calleja, Lazara Rosell Albear, Mathieu Ha, Tatsuhisa Yamamoto, Norberto Lobo, Susana Santos Silva, Daysuke Takaoka, Lionel Malric, Gregoire Tirtiaux, Audrey Lauro, Mori-Shige, Giovanni Di Domenico, Manja Ristic, Peter Jacquemyn, Akira Sakata, Mette Rasmussen, Tetuzi Akiyama, Toshimaru Nakamura, Rie Nakajima and many more…
