In early 2019, Alex Deforce (b. 1984) took his first poetic steps with Victor De Roo's Nachtdichter on Amsterdam's Knekelhuis label. More recently, he contributed poetic interludes to Brihang's Casco album, reciting poems by Georges Perec. His debut solo 7-inch vinyl was released in 2020 on Brussels Lexi Disques, featuring poetry set to music by Charlotte Jacobs and Wiet Lengeler. In 2022, he founded Les Editions Deforce, a small publishing house with releases from collaborations with Victor De Roo, Paulo Rietjens, and Azertyklavierwerke.
