Joachim Badenhorst (deg1981 Antwerpen), a reedist, works in solo improvisation, collaboration, and projects with John Butcher, Paul Lytton, and compositions for his septet Carate Urio Orchestra. After years of academic training, he now divides his time between Belgium and various cities in the US and Europe. Joachim is currently reimagining the boundaries of composition and improvisation, as well as abstract sound explorations, harmonic passage and musical passage. He continues to try to find a more personal and site-specific aesthetic language that resonates with different audiences. KLEIN, which he founded two years ago, is where he started to create visual concepts and self-made objects. from http://www.joachimbadenhorst.com
