Butsenzeller live in Antwerp

Experience Butsenzeller live on August 1st

Butsenzeller is a German musical project centered around composer and multi-instrumentalist Jan Kleemann. His work generally falls within the broader categories of dark ambient, drone, and experimental electronic music, often incorporating field recordings and elements of industrial soundscapes. Recurring themes in his albums explore isolation, decay, and the unsettling aspects of the natural world. He has released music through labels such as Cyclic Law and Tartarus Records and maintains a discography spanning several albums and EPs since the early 2010s.

Privateweg is an unconventional venue located in Antwerp, Belgium. Established in 2016, it operates as a space dedicated to experimental and noise music, visual arts, and performance art. Housed within a former industrial building in the harbor area, it deliberately maintains a raw aesthetic – minimal intervention is made to the existing structure. The venue’s name translates to “private road” in Dutch, reflecting its somewhat hidden location and independent spirit. It's known for its focus on providing a platform for artists working outside mainstream genres and fostering an intimate atmosphere for audiences interested in challenging artistic expressions. Privateweg regularly hosts both established figures and emerging artists within these fields.
