What began in 2025 as a series of sweltering sessions at Ghent’s Hot Club quickly evolved into a tight-knit collective of KASK students: Chrysopoeia. Within this formation, Noah Jordens (piano & keyboards), Simon Cuypers (tenor sax), Kasper Snellebrand (bass), and Zias Roeland (guitar & electronics) join forces to explore the outer reaches of improvisation.

Chrysopoeia refers to an alchemical process and perfectly captures the essence of the quartet: transforming raw, unpolished sounds into a compelling musical whole — improvised music in its purest and most adventurous form.
