BOTH MORE AND LESS THAN ITSELF is a new collaborative project featuring Liz Allbee (trumpet), Kobe Van Cauwenberghe (guitars), Emilie Škrijelj (accordion, electronics), Tom Malmendier (drums, percussion), Marina Cyrino (flutes, objects), and Matthias Koole (guitars, no-input).

On 16 April 2026, they will present a 60–80-minute piece that they have been developing during a three-day residency at Studioboerne45, employing a variety of collaborative strategies.

The ensemble has an unusually wide instrumental range. The musicians will bring setups moving between acoustic sources, experimental amplification, electronics and preparations.
