I saw Machinefabriek had gotten this, felt drawn to the brazen whimsy of the cover, and gave it a go as I started my workday. And half an hour later, as violin and sax were trading voices and the trio were introducing their own voices, I looked up from the computer and had it: my moment of true feeling for the day.
Favorite track: Lullaby.

Really good album - maybe the best belgium can give - my hair is everywhere, as well as my thinkings and feelings while listening - would 100% recommend supporting these artists!
Favorite track: My Hair Is Everywhere.

Everything you asked for is here:
the ache, the ?'s, the unending toil, the chosen sorrow, the longing that cannot be satisfied, transformation , collapse rubble, and the single ember of Hope glowing at the end
b4 air tightens&
space contracts around the pulse.
Nothing moves
but dust.
Then—
a small sound:
Hope.
Not triumphant.
Not loud.
Barely alive.
A breath of a breath.
But it is there.
Hope
in the rubble.
Hope
in the ache.
Hope
in the wings of a creature
that sees through darkness
w/o fear.

"Pianissimo performance makes its own demand, but it's hard to imagine anyone disliking their music" - The Wire
"It could hardly get any more intimate, unless the trio were to climb right onto your lap. Hair everywhere, heart stolen." **** - Focus Knack
Rooted in improvisation and guided by openness, the Klinck Trio—Adia Vanheerentals (saxophone, voice), Maya Dhondt (piano, voice), and Elisabeth Klinck (violin, voice)—crafts music where sound and silence are equally vital. Their debut album is an exploration of fragility, unfolding like a delicate conversation in which each note is chosen with intention and every pause carries presence.
Recorded in the summer of 2024 at Studio Ledeberg, 'My Hair Is Everywhere' captures a moment in time: three musicians meeting in sound, each bringing their own timbre, language and natural state of being into dialogue. Klinck offers seeds of material—metaphors, sketches, sonic ideas—that the ensemble shapes into fully formed pieces. The result is an album that stands complete, yet carries within it the openness to unfold further in live performance, where new layers and resonances can emerge.
In the spirit of American composer and pianist Meredith Monk, the trio embraces lightness and vulnerability, crafting soundscapes that feel both childlike in their intimacy and expansive in their emotional reach. My Hair is Everywhere balances melancholy, tenderness, and harmonic interplay with silence, breath, and resonance—the subtle negative space where music continues beyond the notes themselves. By recording in close proximity, every detail emerges: the strike of piano pedals, the clicking of saxophone keys, the intake of breath, and the faint displacement of air. Textures of dragging violin, whispered fragments, and soft humming become almost tangible, drawing the listener fully into this intimate, enveloping present moment.
Above all, this compelling debut is an invitation to listen differently: to enter a transformative space where three distinct musical voices find each other in fragility.
The artwork, created by French artist Annabelle Guetatra, reflects the album’s sense of lightness through color and playful collage work.
Klinck Trio unites three distinctive voices from the Belgian music scene: violinist-composer Elisabeth Klinck, saxophonist
Adia Vanheerentals, and pianist-producer Maya Dhondt. Together, they craft slowly unfolding soundscapes where melody and silence intertwine, opening a delicate, childlike space of intimacy and discovery....more
