Chopstick Records keeps on working on it’s non-profit online platform Radio Chopstick.
As chances to produce contemporary jazz and improvised music in a conventional way grow smaller along with cultural budgets and cd sales, we believe there’s a necessity for artists to reach audiences in a non-budget way!
At least some music is preserved and it is accessible around the world. Goal is to become a sort of archive of the local Ghent, Belgian impro/jazz scene, but any interesting international improvising artist is welcome to join…

Also we decided to provide a live concept of the Radio Chopstick project by bringing together participating musicicians in a live show. This concept was first performed on the Jazz in’t park festival 2011, Ghent and will be created again wherever organisers wish to book us…
