At once stormy and serene, bassist and composer Ulysse Loup blends contemporary jazz with poetic depth. His ten-piece ensemble guides the listener through organic and mechanical soundscapes: two drum kits pulse, basses rumble, wind instruments call out, and a voice narrates. Music that feels like a journey between longing, vastness and an inner awakening.

Rhythm, loops and morphing patterns: this is the world of Rufus D. Their constantly driving sound unfolds somewhere between post-rock and experimental music. Slowly building structures give way to unexpected breaks, at times lyrically soaring, at others powerful and raw. Beats, loops and guitars merge into a mix that thickens, becomes overdriven and finally fades away into the room.
