Wed 25/03/2026 - 18:00 - Music Mania Instore Session: De Beren Gieren present 'Fuzzy Bears'
In 2026, De Beren Gieren transform into Fuzzy Bears with a new project.
This adventurous new alter ego, born from a deep exploration of modular synths and electronic soundscapes, began as an experiment with vintage electronics at the Willem Twee Institute in the Netherlands has since grown into a bold expansion of the trio’s identity. They composed ten pieces that evoke a world between dream and experiment, with influences from artists such as Cluster, Mort Garson, Hiroshi Yoshimura, and Brian Eno.
Fuzzy Bears offers a forward-thinking and immersive listening experience that pushes the boundaries of jazz and electronics — equal parts experimental laboratory and live concert. On stage, the adventure takes its most daring form. Instead of relying on the original vintage synths, the trio reinterprets the studio’s electronic textures with a streamlined setup designed for live performances.The songs of this exciting experiment are collected on a self-titled album, to be released on March 20th 2026 via Marcel Records.
