An outstandingly talented drummer and composer, and a longtime favourite of ours here at CTD, Elias Devoldere is one of Belgium’s most cutting-edge and visionary artists. Involved in wide range of projects and collaborations including Nordmann, John Ghost, Robbing Millions, SUWI and Hypochristmutreefuzz, among others, Elias, as he is plainly known, has also composed for dance productions and theatre.  Last year he released his debut solo album,  Bloomed > Exploded, a dreamy and shimmering record composed, played, recorded and produced entirely by him, and which we were lucky to see performed live in Porto.

Elias has teamed up with fashion designer Dorien De Kesel and film duo Wannes Vanspauwen & Pol De Plecker, for a multimedia project called The End, which was born “from the desire for more collectivity in the crafts and collaboration between the arts”, as the press release describes. “The collaboration stems from the belief that an equal collaboration between different makers leads to a more powerful, sustainable result.”

The End is offered in the shape of a stunning short film portraying a group of people travelling by horse and cart through an apocaliptic landscape, towards a better world. Watch it now.
