She released seven albums as a leader. Her latest album Freya (Edition Records, UK) featuring Kris Davis, Ralph Alessi, Matt Brewer and Dan Weis was released in March 2020 and received great critical acclaim.
Tineke appears on numerous albums as a guest soloist of albums by Dianne Reeves, Terri Lyne Carrington, Florian Arbenz and Tutu Pouane.
Tineke’s personal style which can be described as powerful, lyrical, melodic and adventurous and some of her mentors are Greg Osby, Wayne Shorter and Terri Lyne Carrington.
Tineke: „I like to write multi-layered music with conceptual elements. The musicians I asked to join are free to do with it what they want.“
In this year’s edition of the Monday Meetings, themed envision/revision, the existing concept of encounter will be further intensified by a two-day working phase of the ensembles. In the last editions Ego Nobis and Coalesce this „mini-residency“ has proven to be extremely successful.
The idea behind envision/revision is to combine previous concepts of own projects with the diverse influences of the invited artists* within the framework of the residency and to break new ground outside one’s own comfort zone. The great freedom of choice of additional music, combined with the concept of presenting something new, is both an opportunity and a challenge. Opposites have a complementary effect.
Together with the musicians, we would like to reflect on this phenomenon and also on how, for example, isolation caused by the pandemic affects the creative process and whether this results in a growing tendency towards individualism – or in the opposite: the strengthening of the need for collective, creative exchange. The examination of this question is achieved both through the musical interpretation of the invited musicians and through interviews involving the audience.
This plurality forms the thematic framework to which the musicians* devote themselves through their compositional and improvisational work during the Monday Meetings residency.
The guests, curated by the collective, can use the premises of the LOFT for two days to develop their programs and present them with a final concert. In this way, we would like to offer the artists a space to deepen the mutual creative exchange and to work out their musical concepts intensively with their colleagues. The selection of the invited artists is intended to reflect the diversity of an open and lively music scene.
For documentation purposes, the concert will be professionally recorded in sound and vision and published in consultation with the artists.
