The Liege label Jaune Orange celebrates its twentieth birthday! For the occasion, the label organises a festival that will take place on 17 & 18 April 2020 in Liège. The focus? Emphasising the close ties between music and image, between musical and audiovisual work.

Jaune Orange was founded twenty years ago by an initiative of musicians from Liège. Since then, the label has diversified and today it offers general support and guidance for artists. The label is subdivided into four entities: JO Label, JO Booking, JO Publishing and JO Events. With twenty years and counting, Jaune Orange wants to highlight this landmark by organising a new festival that emphasises the importance of ‘the image’.

“If images can contribute that much more to a musical creation, the reverse is also true. Music combined with visual material adds an extra meaning, a different way of reading, an extra dimension. Through this festival we want to pay tribute to the image and explore its various forms. Each intervention will be characterised by an encounter between these two types of media.”

The “3ème Festival” therefore aims to offer a dense and diverse programme including conferences, concerts, performances, exhibitions, projections, etc.

Artists & speakers:

• Cross-master class with Jean-Benoît Dunckel and Olivier Babinet. On the occasion of the release of the film “Poissonsexe”, director Olivier Babinet and composer Jean-Benoît Dunckel reflect on their artistic collaboration. They discuss their method and the importance of music in a feature film.
• Camera etc.: This year, the non-profit organisation celebrates forty years of animations and creativity via its anniversary event “Creative 40”. During this occasion, its work as a film production and animation studio will be highlighted through a carte blanche projection. Installations and exhibitions will accompany this.
