Silophonesessions over Morris Weijers
Morris Weijers, born in 1991 in Amersfoort, The Netherlands, has been playing the drums for more than 25 years, and the handpan for the last 15 years. The handpan is a modern European instrument, first made around 2000 by a former company called Panart in Switzerland.
Morris bought his first handpan in 2011 from the percussion shop Stiggelbout in Groningen and later moved to Groningen in 2013. Where he has been living since. Each handpan can have its own unique musical scale, a western or even a eastern scale. All to create specific atmospheres of melodies and rhythms. Like a waltz or to recreate famous songs like “Hijo de la Luna” on the handpan.
Morris has played and experimented on several handpans with different scales, during the last 15 years, in order to compose songs and rhythms that can have either a European, African and Eastern feel to them. He will play and perform compositions alone and with 2 of his dear musician friends Charles Belfor and Remko Adema.o

over de Silophonesessions:
The Silophonesessions are multidisciplinary improvisation jam sessions for musicians, dancers and spoken word artists, organized by violinist Renske van Donk and improv cellist Charles Belfor. Our goal: to bring together performers of many different styles, perspectives and influences at an artistic playground and to encourage them to interact with each other so that something entirely unique emerges on stage.
