VAAGUE
Surrounded by a unique cockpit of acoustics and electronics, VAAGUE creates drumgrooves for the dancefloor.
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 is set to release its first album in October 2024: 'Oktopus Mekaniks', w
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.

"Het resultaat is een eclectische ep. De percussie klinkt uiteraard jazzy, maar de bassen doen ook vaak aan dub denken."
Knack Focus (BE)
"Een throwback naar de hoogdagen van Amon Tobin van jazzdrummer Antoine Pierre en de beatbakker van Roméo Elvis."
HUMO (BE)
"Considered one of the best the best drummers in Belgium, this time Antoine PIerre is accompanied by a futuristic device: an unusual piece equipment designed to multiply sounds."
