The same goes for their music.

Despite the current apocalyptic state of the world they tried to celebrate life through the sheer joy of playing together and they would like to present these extremely colourful tunes to the public as a reminder that there is always a bright side of this amazing magical universe.TAUPE (UK)https://taupe.bandcamp.com/Availability:1/2/3/4/6/8/9/10/11/12 September Territories: NL/BE/FR/DE/DKTaking risks only works if you’re willing to fail, and Taupe share an understanding that there’s no wrong way to play.A decade of friendship has conjured a spooky telekinesis that anchors the band, even when their improvisations teeter on the edge of total collapse. The three-piece are an explosive live band, veering from taut metronomic precision into intentionally turbulent, unchartered territory. A DIY ethos feeds their wonky compositions, colliding sour scatter-skronk with sludgy, doom-inspired riffs.Anarchic, joyful debut album Fill Up Your Lungs and Bellow (2017) was best described by All About Jazz as “a chain of chemical reactions”, and their 2019 EP Get The Keys is a wild joyride through the night their car was almost stolen – with their instruments, Mike and Adam still inside it. Not Blue Light (released April 7th 2020) is their boldest record yet. Picking up the story from where the EP left off, it rattles from shit-your-pants fear to adrenaline, relief and total bafflement. It’s no surprise that their exhilarating sense of discovery has won them support from the likes of BBC 6 Music’s Freak Zone and BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction and Freeness, as well as support slots with acts such as Deerhoof, Richard Dawson & Circle and Melt Banana. Fizzing with ideas, Taupe are a non-jazz band that prizes surprise over any specific soundWILLIAM HOOKER [USA]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQ2uuND6bq4Availability: From early October 2024 onwards Territories: Europe + UKWilliam Hooker a musician, composer and a poet recognized as “an iconoclast, and one of the most innovative musicians andrummers of his generation.

The critical acclaim of his most recent album, Symphonie of Flowers (ORG), and the performances in support of it are overwhelming. Some of his earlier recordings have been reissued recently, including his 1977 debut, … Is Eternal Life and 1997’s Mindfulness (ORG). Hooker also has his own podcast called “The Lost Generation: Outside the Mainstream”, an interview series devoted to the free-jazz musicians of the present. He’s now at work on its book as a companion piece to the full-length documentary film just completed.EVERYTHING FALLS APART (Belgium/UK)https://everything-falls-apart.bandcamp.com/album/everything-falls-apartAvailability: On request Territories: Europe + UKInspired by Danielewski’s masterpiece “House of Leaves”, Everything Falls Apart (EFA) brings together in a brilliant dialogue prolific English producer Ross Tones, aka Throwing Snow (Houndstooth), and double bass player Otto Lindholm (Icarus, Gizeh, Totalism). Through a deep connection and appreciation of music the two artists hit it off instantly upon meeting and despite the improvisational nature of their practice, the underlying concept of their collaboration was thoughtfully composed. They are two musicians using different languages yet achieving a mutual understanding.

I hope to hear from you soon.All the best.Alain
