The Veda Bartringer Quartet project was created in 2021 and is the result of musician Veda Bartringer's personal quest. During her jazz studies at the Royal Conservatory in Brussels, she constantly collected various ideas. In 2021, she finally decided to finalize them and create a complete composition from them. By studying different instruments - classical and jazz guitar, lyrical singing and piano - she tries to bring her different points of view into her pieces and play with these different aspects. Through her studies and teachers at the conservatory, she got to know and deepened her knowledge of different worlds besides jazz, such as fusion, funk and Indian music. The idea behind his compositions is to create new soundscapes based on modern jazz, but also incorporating classical music, jazz fusion and Indian music. Veda offers a decidedly contemporary jazz, characterized by a strong feminine sensibility that is still too little represented in this style of music. Musicians Julien Cuvelier, Boris Schmidt and Maxime Magotteaux have joined her on this sonic journey, helping to explore and enter more deeply into these different worlds. In September 2022, the quartet released their first EP called The Butterfly Effect.

After Club Session: Bodies
Bodies merges the sounds of modern jazz and improvisations with different danceable grooves like drum'n'bass, reggaeton or techno, using different effects to create an ambiguous yet groovy soundscape. Through their music, this group emphasizes the importance of enjoyment and pleasure. The acoustic space created during their concerts leads the collective imagination towards a utopian world in which vulnerability is the key to progress and where corporeality loses of its importance.
