VAAGUE: the drums-and-electronics solo project by Brussels-based drummer and producer Antoine Pierre. 

After two critically acclaimed EPs (Self-titled in 2021 and 'From the Ashes' in 2022 (released on his own label Shapes No Frame)), collaborations with Le Motel, Amy Root and Dorian Dumont (ECHT!) and a series of concerts in Belgium and abroad, VAAGUE has released his first album in October 2024: 'Oktopus Mekaniks' , an 11-track collection of beat-driven electronical compositions

On stage, VAAGUE is the fusion of the musician, his instrument and his computer.  Acoustics and electronics merge with incisive energy. The project moves between club music, bass music, drum-and-bass, ambient, jungle grooves and, of course, a few jazz patterns. With state-of-the-art technology, VAAGUE interacts in real time with the computer and can launch a whole arsenal of live samples, creating melodies and layers of sound without getting stuck in pre-recorded loops, the sworn enemies of improvisation and the freedom the drummer needs.

VAAGUE stands out not only for its creative approach, but also for the elegance of Antoine Pierre's musical mastery.
