schntzl

schntzl is a Belgian duo that creates hyper visual music, provocative but kind. Their music can be heard as pop music of a parallel universe, a teardown of established values but with a taste for kitsch. Accompanied by their percussion, samplers, keyboards and drums they function as a fail-safe orchestra of two people, dancing and orbiting around each other.

“These musicians always […] create a completely self-invented world that cannot be compared to anything else.” (Written in Music). schntzl is the Belgian duo of pianist Hendrik Lasure and drummer Casper Van De Velde who create hyper visual music, provocative but kind. schntzl has performed all over Europe in the past years, playing concerts at AB (Brussels), the Bimhuis, the Gateshead Jazz Festival, Nasjonal Jazzscene in Oslo and the Altes Pfandhaus in Cologne. After three albums on the Belgian W.E.R.F.-label, their latest EP ‘Amsterdam!’ came out in 2022. In 2023 their fifth studio album is being released on Cortizona records.
