OORT CLOUD

Biography

OORT CLOUD experiments at the edge between new music, noise, rock and improvisation. OORT CLOUD released their debut album “The Impossibility Of Simultaneousness” in March 2021 and was a finalist of the ZKB Jazz Prize in 2021. 2022 they released a drone album to kick-of their new concert series un:OORT, as well as a 4 Video EP directed by Ludmilla Mercier. 2023 OORT CLOUD changed direction: Ride cymbals and tomtoms were thrown out, Bass passed through a Fuzzpedal, and the music is joined by a screaming shouting voice that expands the bands sound into a more straightforward, Rock/Punk inspired sound.

OORT CLOUD escaped from a parallel universe:
They came to us through a black hole, playing dense music that is nevertheless of a rare clarity. The constant alternation of the guitarist's timbre is just a logical conclusion of the ever-changing molecular structure; the halting, linear rhythms of bass and drums are the consequence a constantly expanding universe. Weightlessness and emptiness are self-evident in their galaxy; improvising, the band plunges further into the next cosmos.
