Multidisciplinary artist Yannick Verhoeven, better known as Ramses3000, is back with 'Thalamus'. Recorded in a monastery, Verhoeven aimed to compose music that allows the listener to relax and process the stimuli of daily life. Earlier, this album was showcased at art installations at Museum De Pont, Kunstinstituut Melly and Stedelijk Museum Breda and music festivals such as ADE, November Music and Boring Festival. Last year, Verhoeven’s journey was on display at In-Edit, a music documentary festival at the Melkweg, Amsterdam.
Verhoeven’s artistic trajectory is one marked by innovation and cultural convergence. From pioneering the integration of Egyptian electro-cha3bi music into Western consciousness as initiator of Cairo Liberation Front, to founding Eurabia, a festival celebrating Middle-Eastern artists, Verhoeven has continually pushed artistic boundaries. His previous album ‘Nadja’, an eclectic melange of afrobeat, breakbeat and nu-jazz, unscored his visionary approach to alternative dance music, while working with talented vocalists from West-Africa. After ‘Nadja’, Verhoeven had the desire to explore unknown, musical territory.
Crafting Thalamus for two years, the music resulted in a dazzling trip that, according to the musician, should be heard as a whole. The album is a remarkable cross-pollination where the classical and digital worlds meet, incorporating influences from ambient, jazz, new age and psychedelic music.
