Jon Doe One

"Jon Doe One is the alias of Belgian composer and double bass player Hannes d’Hoine. His portfolio includes work with many different people and formations (you may know him as a member of Die Anarchistische Abendunterhaltung). Apart from that, he has composed music for dance, film, theatre, and other performances.  As Jon Doe One he previously released two titles on Entr’acte. Sol Invictus is released on the Dutch Esc.rec. label. The liner notes tell the tale of d’Hoine struggling with his art, suspecting that “the bleakness of his compositions (on Horror Vacui) may have unleased a catastrophy on a global scale. Had his music infected others, or was the plague merely a mirror to his own deleterious tendencies?”

Sol Invictus (named after the Roman Sun God) is his return to beauty – “an invocation of the lighter regions of his mind” – created with the help of Hanne De Backer (bass clarinet, baritone sax), Berlinde Deman (serpent). Light, as well as Darkness, is in the eye/ear of the beholder of course." - Peter Van Cooten
