He frequently collaborates with musicians from diverse backgrounds, resulting in a sound that is both deeply rooted in tradition and strikingly modern.

Lumière Cinema is a historic art-house cinema located in the heart of Bruges. Originally opened in 1928 as a single-screen venue, it underwent significant renovations in 2013, transforming into a two-screen cinema specializing in independent, arthouse, and classic films. The building itself is noted for its Art Deco architecture and has become a cultural landmark within Bruges. While primarily a film venue, Lumière occasionally hosts live performances that align with its artistic programming, utilizing the space's unique acoustics and intimate atmosphere. The cinema is operated by the non-profit organization 'Cinema Lumière vzw'.
