    • 🔵 Artist & Repertoire @ Blue Marble
      • Sep 2022 - Present

      Blue Marble is not only a record label, but also a platform for extraordinary artists and the idea of immersive staging of modern instrumental music. Far beyond the genre boundaries of neo-classical, Blue Marble combines melody, harmony, beat, noise and soundscape with classical elements of pop music. Classic? Not quite. We call it post-ambient. Featuring a range of outstanding artists such Klaus Sahm, Janus Rasmussen (Kiasmos), David Bergmüller, Illuminine and Martin Rott.

      Kevin lmbrechts is Illuminine, emissary of melancholy and figurehead of minimal music in Belgium. In a world and a time of chaos, he radically keeps calm, guitar in lap. Alone in his room, but that doesn't make the listener any less welcome. In 2015, Illuminine debuted with '#1'. He put on his bold shoes and sent the music to Birgir Jón Birgisson, Sigur Rós' sound engineer and the two quickly became partners in melancholy. Birgisson was also behind the buttons on successors '#2' and'#3', records that contain the art of travelling without having to go in a straight line to a destination. lmbrechts found peace and connection in lceland. 'Those warm but at the same time cold and deep sounds of their music, and the melancholic character of it: that seeps indirectly into what I make.’ And what Illuminine makes strikes a chord with people all over the world who need it. In total, Imbrechts has since found more than 100 million kindred souls on Spotify. It earned him attention from renowned international media such as BBC, KEXP, The Guardian and Pitchfork. TV and radio makers from around the world often use his music to reinforce moments of reflection. In recent years, Kevin lmbrechts composed the music for Eric Goens and Diederd Esseldeurs' Belgian docufilm, 'De Stig' (2020), the British ITV series 'Against The Odds' (2022) and the Xbox game 'Somerville' (2022), among others. After collaborating with Birgisson, lmbrechts would get to know many more kindred souls. He had his music and compositions recorded by befriended artists on solo piano, and recently he heads the A&R (Artist and Repertoire) of the new Hamburg label 'Blue Marble', where he works with artists such as Janus Rasmussen (Kiasmos), Niklas Paschburg, among others. Over the years, he has collaborated with the likes of Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie (USA), Alex Somers (IS, Sigur Ros), Will Samson (UK), Francesco Fabris (IT, 'Dark' Netflix), Valgeir Sigurdsson (IS), Jan Swerts (BE), Federico Albanese (lT) and so on.
