A.k.a. Frederik Meulyzer & Koenraad Ecker

Stray Dogs is a Belgian duo consisting of Frederik Meulyzer (percussion, electronics) and Koenraad Ecker (cello, guitars, electronics) . With a long‐standing musical relationship as foundation, Stray Dogs use a wide range of live percussion, prepared acoustic & electric guitars, cello and analog synths to develop a raw, polyrythmic and highly textural music that finds itself on the crossroads of ritual drumming, industrial noise, dub echoes and disintegrating orchestras. Stray Dogs have collaborated regularly with the Swiss video artist Yannick Jacquet aka Legoman, a founding member of the renowned AntiVJ visual label. They've collaborated for the audiovisual performance "Intangible States", with which they toured in 2011‐2012, the theatre performance "Animal" (premiered February 2012) and the installation version of "Intangible States" (may 2012). Stray Dogs have been commissioned to compose music for theatre (Walpurgis) and dance : in 2014-2015 they composed and performed at the Goteborg Opera House for a contemporary dance performance by the renownedNorwegian choreographer Ina Christel Johannesen.
