🍂 Autumn will be a brooding time of preparation for my next album, Polluted Pitch!
It will be recorded in Spring 2026 with the incredible Bram De Looze, Vitja Pauwels, Manolo Cabras, and Joao Lobo.
Meanwhile, this season will also be filled with exciting new projects:
🎶 Earth Talk — The presentation of Stéphane Payen’s and Bo Van Der Werf’s new project will take place at the Jazzdor Festival in Strasbourg. With Benoît Delbecq, Sarah Murcia, and Tamara Singh, it is a creation dedicated to our planet’s environment, and I’m honored to be part of it.
🎭 Happy Time — I’ll be taking on a leading role in Giovanni Di Domenico’s opera, with texts and screenplay by Japanese director Takashi Masuyama. A production by Ars Musica, to be presented at CC Uccle. Looking forward to this unique adventure!
✨ New project with Malik Mezzadri & Bo Van Der Werf — Together with Adèle Viret, Soet Kempeneer, and Samuel Ber, something new and special is in the works… More news on that soon!
📚 Spectralism in Jazz — This year I had the chance to get familiar with Piergiorgio Pirro’s research on spectralism in jazz. He will be presenting the results of his 5-year PhD at De Singel and Jazz Station, and I’ll be joining his quartet with Rob Banken, Cyrille Obermüller, and Luis Mora for the occasion.
🌟 Le Monde Merveilleux de Pepito — Their new album will be released on Challenge Records, celebrated with a release concert at Flagey. I’m thrilled to be one of the guests, alongside the amazing Alexandra Grimal and Lucia Pires.

Polluted Pitch!
My time as an Artist in Residence at Werkplaats Walter has culminated in a performance with the full new repertoire and a full new band at the end of 2024. The full line-up consisting of Bram Delooze on piano, Vitja Pauwels on guitare, Manolo Cabras on double bass and João Lobo on drums. I’ll be sharing some in-progress snippets soon and, hopefully, presenting it all in a new album by 2026. Stay tuned!
Flying Nimbus, my duo with double bassist Manolo Cabras, is working on new repertoire, our first show is on the 11th of January at the Jazz Station!
Earth Talk is a project about our interaction with the environment with

Bo van der Werf on baritone sax and composition

Stéphane Payen on alto sax and composition
-
Sarah Murcia on double bass and voice

Tamara Singh on voice and lyrics and
-
Benoît Delbecq on piano and prepared piano
Happy Time will be the first electro-acoustic contemporary ‘opera’ written by Giovanni Di Domenico (music and concept) and Takashi Masuyama (tekst and libretto). Performances will be at Les Halles de Schaerbeek during the Ars Musica Festival on November 14th, 15th, and 16th.

January 2024
Polluted Pitch! …and what a joy to start 2024 as a resident of Werkplaats Walter. 
During my residency I will create new music with Manolo Cabras on bass and João Lobo on drums. We’ll be exploring speech patterns, bending pitch, language mashups, and many other things that don’t fit on paper. Eventually enlarging the Huge thanks to Walter for this opportunity! 
Holsen & Cassiers ‘Walking In Circles’ (stroom 2023)
“Holsen & Cassiers are essential pioneers of a current generation of determined musicians advancing in a seductive yet humble avant-garde as they embrace all movements.” (Citizen Jazz)
“Massive recommendation” (Boomkat )
“The sound universe of these two artists knows no boundaries” (Le Soir)
“Or, in other words, the STROOM label is doing it again.” (Gonzo)
“Lynn Cassiers and Hilde Marie Holsen have the gift of embrace” (Rockerilla)
“The album is articulated between the rough drones and dissonances of Today’s Bright, to which Cassiers’ voice lends impalpable emotion, and the dilated sounds of Opening with Holsen’s trumpet recalling the memoir and images of Jan Garbarek, passing through the noisy discomfort of Life Stages Are.” (Rumore)

Full Interview
“S’il est de bon ton, parlant d’un artiste, de louer l’univers très personnel dont il est capable, il convient de reconnaître que peu de musicien·ne·s peuvent se targuer d’avoir un biotope aussi riche que la chanteuse belge Lynn Cassiers. Repérée depuis longtemps dans ses propres projets comme aux côtés de Jozef Dumoulin ou dans Octurn, Lynn Cassiers s’est imposée comme une artiste incontournable des musiques improvisées et même au-delà. Voix onirique, travaillée, reconnaissable entre toutes, elle avait impressionné il y a quelques mois avec son projet Yun, qui explorait des standards, à sa manière unique. On la retrouve avec Alexandra Grimal dans un duo familier et plein de poésie. Rencontre avec une musicienne incontournable de la scène européenne.”

PRESS about YUN
Disque Elu! Citizen Jazz “…Yun is a discovery with every listening, a delicious phonic and sensory experience, absolutely brilliant,...”(Raphaël Benoit for Citizen Jazz, France)
Europe Jazz Media Charts 9 2020 “Lynn Cassiers is a sophisticated arranger. (…) She creates a remarkable contemporary sonic context instead with a special dramaturgy and musical arrangement for the captivating emergence of intimate islands of dreamy ‘old’ melodies, (…)
Salt Peanuts“all the way, this is very original vocal music that lies at the intersection between modern jazz and electronic music… Cassiers has made an original and nice record, which there are not many to compare with.” (Jan Granlie for Salt Peanuts, Norway)
Written In Music “A multitude of perspectives that not only honor the great composers, but that once again do justice to the improvisational skills of the Belgian school. ” (Leon Pouwels for Written In Jazz)
Enola “You can safely consider Lynn Cassiers as the most unique vocalist of Belgian jazz and improvisation.” (Guy Peters for Enola about Flying Nimbus and Yun) “It’s a Cassier’s album pur sang: strange and yet vaguely recognizable, difficult to fathom and yet stimulating, intimidating and seductive. The term ‘siren’ was not yet mentioned. Yun is not average, let alone easy to digest, but a daring album that only wants to be approached on its own terms. And that provided an hour of music to get lost in over and over again. “
Jazz Forum "Cassiers's music is extremely colorful, surprising, often very lyrical and with carpets of sounds. ... It is fleeting, delicate, caresses the ear like a spring breeze. Cassiers has something of Bjork and Laurie Andersonn, Norma Winstone about her, got her original sonic world - exotic, stunningly sensual, sultry, labyrinthine and mysterious"(Marek Romanski for Jazz Forum Poland)
Plus.nettavisen “Lynn Cassiers apears both as a vocalist, voice artist and bandleader with something very special at heart. She is and has a voice that will be very exciting to follow”(Tor Hammero, Norway)
Soundcontest “the young and creative Lynn Cassiers, whose vision is imprinted with dynamic acrobatics and true exploratory propensity, and whose planning animates an unstable blend of free avant-garde impulses and mighty legacy of the jazz form.” (Aldo del Noce, Italy)
Jazzques “Rarely (if ever) have these standards been reinvented in this way. It’s just beautiful and touching.” (Jacques Prouvost at Jazzques Blog)
HUMO***1/2 “Lynn Cassiers’ third record sounds like a twisted love story between Jim O’Rourke and Julia Holter. … a dreamy trip till far above the stratosphere” (Koen Lauwers for Humo, Belgium)
Jazz Convention “There is a kind of magnificence and consensual freedom in the splendid understanding of these admirable musicians.”(Nicola Barin for Jazz Convention, Italy)
Jazz Around“Throughout the album, the same phantasmagoria operates. Waves of hyper-famous melodies emerge but transfigured by the magic of electronics interspersed with collective improvisations. ” (Claude Loxhay for Jazz Around)
JazzHalo “… “YUN” may be Chinese inspired, but the music feels perfect when reading Murakami, bizarre and fascinating, as engaging as Lynn Cassiers’ Jazz in wonderland!” (Bernard Lefèvre for JazzHalo, Belgium)
Le Mad ***” …YUN is the shock of the avant-garde and the swing years. Lynn Cassiers has the knack of making this shock a delight, which causes surprise and marvel at every track. She and her band, such strong osmosis between six musicians. An album to listen in loop and extract all it’s juice.” (Jean-Claude Vantroyen for Le Mad in Le Soir, Belgium)
Jazzenzo “…Utterlly Lynn Cassiers but rooted in tradition. … Lynn Cassiers as the Julie London of the elecro-jazz?Absolutely!”
(Georges Tonla Briquet for Jazzenzo, The Netherlands)
Jazzradar “From dark and heavy to light-footed and transparent, you will encounter all graduations in between.“(Eddy Westveer for Jazzradar, The Netherlands)
Critics At Large “The geography of the imagination which the Belgian-based vocalist travels with her gifted band of electro-acoustic jazz players is a re-examination of the outer horizons of what the word “jazz” can mean.” (Donald Brackett, USA)
Jazz & Mo: A beautiful symbiosis of soundscapes in electronic and acoustic impulses …a spicy, adventurous CD from inspired improvisers. (Chris Joris, Jazz & Mo’)
