Biography
KLUNEN is a Belgian post-rock band from Kessel-Lo, Vlaams-Brabant. The band consists of Stijn Van der Stockt (Guitar, Vocals), Nicholas Gerlo (Guitar), Ken de Cooman (Drums), Joris Geboers (Bass) and Gunnar Hoffelinck (Bass and Soundscapes).
KLUNEN first saw light in Prague, Czech Republic, in 2003, when founding member Nick Gerlo baptized the project in a great ordeal of absinth-minded enthusiasm. Henceforth, KLUNEN has been composing music centred around two basic affects: that of lightness, and that of weight.
Lightness: Taste this fruit, good friend. It will soften your spirit and your senses bend
Weight: The seas I'll cross and the scythe I'll wield to strive to seek to find and not to yield.
KLUNEN wishes to capture and express the whole scope and array of feelings that emerge from these affects, ranging from utter ecstacy to downright frustration, from restlessness to basic melancholy, the heartbeat of the moment felt, the knife's edge…Lightness and weight, and the subtle vertigo between them.
