Eric Thielemans’s biography:

Drummer and percussionist. Musical thinker.
Travelling across music scenes and disciplines, Thielemans navigates by means of his own compass.
Most known for his resonant solo works like a Snare is a Bell, Sprang, Aural Mist and Bata Baba Loka, and many collaborations with musicians in the experimental music scene as well as the Jazz scene and indie folk/pop/rock scenes, Thielemans keeps on pushing the borders and expanding conscious aural spaces and territories.
