In October 2017, a three-piece band from the Netherlands Under the Surface presented an impromptu performance to the audience of Temple Dongjingyuan. Sanne Rambags, the lead singer accompanied by a guitar and drums only, demonstrated the sound of heaven from the Netherlands. The three musicians chose Temple Dongjingyuan to improvise again in April 2019, and brought their new album Trinity to start a soul journey with you. The combination of western avant-garde art, the 600-year-old oriental temple and the mood and atmosphere of the audience on site is creating an interesting environment for improvisation. How will Trinity adapt to the new environment? What kind of creativity will the musicians bring to the audience?

Trinity will carry you to the limits of your soul
Under the Surface create a new reality. In March, this unique three-piece band has released their latest and fully improvised live album. Trinity will transport you to a hidden world of tenderness, ire, refuge, bliss, solitude, tranquility and sorrow.
Joost Lijbaart, Bram Stadhouders and Sanne Rambags use improvisation to seek out and explore space and silence. They have shared their unique musical language with audiences in all the corners of the earth, from Mali to Mexico, Norway to India and from Bolivia to Lebanon.
Trinity is all about daring to be yourself, finding your own strength, and using this to communicate with others. With their new album, Under the Surface invite you to engage in a dialogue with yourself.
Under the surface, based in Netherlands, includes drummer Joost Lijbaart (Amsterdam, 1967), guitarist Bram Stadhouders (Tilburg, 1987) and vocalist Sanne Rambags (Tilburg, 1994).
Together they focus strongly on improvisation and rough sketches, surrounded by a lot of space and atmosphere.
Lijbaart belongs to the top of the Dutch jazz scene. Bram Stadhouders, having received 7 awards, is one of the most promising new young musicians in the European improvisation scène. Sanne Rambags is one of the few singers of her generation who is able to improvise in a very open way, sometimes with self-written texts and poems, sometimes by positioning herself completely between the musicians. This gives her voice an instrumental function that’s beautifully in line with the open group sound and the delicateness of the playing of Lijbaart and Stadhouders.
Under the Surface is a unique trio of three musicians from different generations who have found each other in a common urge to improvise with an approach of deep listening, honesty and vulnerability, that supports them in their quest to nature, space and silence.
Their first album, 'Under the Surface', was released in March 2017 on Challenge Records, and was nominated for an Edison Award in 2018. On Under the Surface, the jury wrote:
'In a time in which more and more musical walls are being broken down, this three-piece outfit under the direction of Lijbaart have presented a CD in a genre that is quite hard to nail down: perhaps because the theme is the "music behind the silence", the listener is carried away to a sometimes dream-like new reality.'
