Whispering Trees is the latest project led by Brussels-based Dutch drummer Daniel Jonkers, who has been shaping his musical voice in the local and international music scene since moving to the city in 2015. 

Joined by Yu-Ting Li (VIVA) on piano/effects and Vitja Pauwels (Early Life Forms) on guitar/effects, the trio brings an eclectic and sometimes dreamy sound which can be both minimalistic and playful. By leaving out a bass instrument, the trio explores unconventional interactions between guitar, piano, and drums.

Their set features Daniel’s riff-driven songs which have plenty of room for improvisation to let everyone’s intuition and spontaneous musical voice to be heard.
