Artist Info

Othin Spake started as a joke. Put together march 2005 by Teun Verbruggen, who got "carte blanche" at Archiduc, Brussels. Teun decided to play a complete Improvised session with the exentric guitarplayer Mauro Pawlowski (dEUS, Somnambula, Mitshubishy Jackson,...) and piano-rhodesplayer Jozef Dumoulin (Mäâk Spirit, Magic Malik, Octurn,...)?This first session (on a lousy, rainy sundayafternoon) turned into a complete musical party going from very rough soundscaping, to punk, minimal elektronic and Jazz. It was an unbelievable event with very fresh, innovating music from three musicians who never played together before. ?Immediately they were asked for Jazz-middelheim 2005, Petrol, Flanders Jazz Meeting (where they immediately became one of the most discussed bands .... "This is no Jazz!!!!!!"?Now they're asked to Play John Zorn's supportact at AB, Brussels and many other great things are pending.

They're not playing pure Jazz but they call their music "emofreejazznoizesweetpunk" which comes close to what they're bringing. Every concert is a complete discovery and a fully improvised set ... so worth checking out!!?Teun Recorded all the music they played (over 10 hours of musical) and decided to make a trilogy with all this impro sessions, resulting in their first release "The Ankh".
