In celebration of all casio’s, yamaha’s and other home keyboards worldwide Varia will host an exclusive event called ‘The Key To Casio (And Yamaha Too)’. On the 12th of October we will acknowledge the wonderful things these instruments have brought mankind during the last 50 years; from Casio’s Rapman to Trio’s Dadada!
The event is comprised of the following elements:
Dion & The Magic Chords
The lovechild of casio freaks Dion van Loon and Griffin Stuip sounds like the toybox equivalent to your favourite progressive acts, such as Jean Michelle Jarre and Yes. With the help of stunning visuals and a wild arrangement of casio’s and yamahama’s they will bring your mind towards the next level of levitation

Zoontoon
Using a loop station and a small modified Casio SK-1 keyboard, Zoontoon experiments with the simplicity of electronic vibrations. The trance of nature and rhythms of Oriental music are his main sources of inspiration. His performances are full of loops and tunes that make you dance like Apollo!

M. Klein
Maybe you know M. Klein known for his work in Sweat Tongue, Lewsberg, Eklin and his label De Hef. Inspired by Satie and Fauré he decided to compose some minimalist electronic piano compositions. M. Klein will provide us with the pleasure of his organic keyboard playing, working his way across his Yamaha PSS-170 and who knows what else?
Listentomerijn
What has not been said about Listentomerijn? This renowned Rotterdam DJ will show his prove skills once more; this time behind the keys and maybe some drumpads too. What kind of drumpads? Those of the Casio MT205 ff course! Would you expect anything less?
Casio Show and tell
Interluding the way, there will be a series of keyboard presentations that showcase the many shapes and sizes these instruments have taken throughout the years. This show and tell will be presented by none other than Lídia Pereira and her assistant, Niek Hilkmann. Want to present a keyboard yourself? Send an email to: info@varia.zone
