Vivienne Aerts – Multimedia Performance Of Music From Her New Album, Current

About

Dutch New York-based artist and Berklee professor Vivienne Aerts presents her new album ‘Current’ recorded aboard a 1951 Dutch sailboat, built from original songs, layered vocals, synths, and field recordings. Not just an album with a concert, but an experience of the visual and sonic world created on the water by Vivienne blending “nature, jazz, and ambient electronic music, capturing songs, layers of voice, and the sounds of water itself, shaped by themes of empathy, listening, and the quiet power of movement.” “A Cool Strain Of Brooklyn Loungecore, Steeped In Introspection And Emotional Desolation.” – Aidmoozic Album Of The Day “It’s Glorious Music…An Album That Takes The Listener On A Captivating And Mesmerising Musical Journey.” – George Cole, Jazz Views Website : https://vivienneaerts.nl/ The staggeringly versatile skill-set of NYC-based Dutch Singer, Educator, Psychologist and Artist-preneur Vivienne Aerts busts myths around the ‘Jill of all trades’ paradigm with a nonchalance that leaves even the most skeptical purist taking a bow. A Fulbright scholar and Suma Cum Laude Berklee alumna, she’s collaborated with jazz icons like Lee Konitz, Kenny Werner, Dave Liebman, and Chris Potter. Her third award-winning album, Typuhthâng (2023), features 100 female musicians and comes with a bar of chocolate supporting Congolese female cacao farmers through a partnership with Original Beans.
