ENG:
OTOOTO is the newest addition to Danish jazz in international class. Since the band was formed in 2019, they have garnered recognition from radio stations and reviewers and already in November 2020 they could look back on a year with countless concerts and three single releases.
The sound of OTOOTO is defined by Wallace and Due's lyrical and light melodies paired with a distinctive sound of the legendary vintage synthesizer Juno 60. Add a strong Neo-Soul/R&B groove and the framework is formed. The songs fill the listener with a feeling of hope and joy while the music unfolds in a harmonious and playful way.

The group is currently making new music to follow up on their 2nd album "Dosage" from June 2022 and the critically acclaimed debut record "This Love Is For You" From 2021. OTOOTO is a unique composition that presents five great personalities in Danish jazz in a way that has not been seen before.

For Danish composer Rumpistol, two huge driving forces behind his music are the search for beauty and the search for new sounds. These sonic and aesthetic curiosities, which can be firmly traced back to his self-titled 2003 debut, now considered a bit of an IDM classic, have taken him to many diverse fields of the electronic as well as the more acoustic landscape.

His releases as well as his live sets range from soft neo-classical piano pieces to spaced out bass-driven electronic music, often hard to categorize but always full of melody. Rumpistol has performed his detailed sound across the US, Europe, Mexico & Brazil including venues like Boom Festival, Tipper & Friends, Boiler Room UK and MUTEK Montreal.

Apart from producing under the name Rumpistol, he also creates scores for film, theater & contemporary dance and plays keys and produces for the Gilles Peterson approved Danish supergroup Kalaha. This night he will be joined by virtuous and renowned violinist Maria Jagd.

DK:
OTOOTO er det nyeste skud på stammen i Dansk Jazz i international klasse. Siden bandet blev dannet i 2019 har de høstet anderkendelse fra radiostationer og anmeldere og allerede i November 2020 kunne de se tilbage på et år med et utal af koncerter og tre single udgivelser.
Lyden af OTOOTO er defineret af Wallace og Dues lyriske og lette melodier parret med en karakteristisk lyd af den legendariske vintage synthesizer Juno 60. Tilføj et stærkt Neo-Soul/R&B groove og rammerne er dannet. Sangene fylder lytteren med en følelse af håb og glæde imens musikken udfolder sig på en harmonisk og legende måde.

Gruppen er igang med at lave ny musik som skal følge på på deres 2. Album “Dosage” fra juni 2022 og den anmelderoste debutplade “This Love Is For You” Fra 2021.

OTOOTO er en unik sammensætning som præsentere fem store personligheder i dansk jazz på en måde som ikke er set før.

For den danske komponist Rumpistol er to store drivkræfter bag hans musik søgen efter skønhed og søgen efter nye lyde. Disse soniske og æstetiske nysgerigheder, som kan spores tilbage til hans selvbetitlede debut fra 2003, der nu betragtes som lidt af en IDM-klassiker, har ført ham til mange forskellige områder af det elektroniske såvel som det mere akustiske landskab.

Hans udgivelser såvel som hans live-sæt spænder fra bløde neoklassiske klaverstykker til spredt basdrevet elektronisk musik, ofte svær at kategorisere, men altid fuld af melodi. Rumpistol har fremført sin detaljerede lyd på tværs af USA, Europa, Mexico og Brasilien, herunder spillesteder som Boom Festival, Tipper & Friends, Boiler Room UK og MUTEK Montreal.

Udover at producere under navnet Rumpistol, skaber han også partiturer til film, teater & samtidsdans og spiller keys og producerer for den Gilles Peterson godkendte danske supergruppe Kalaha. Denne aften får han selskab af den dydige og anerkendte violinist Maria Jagd.
