BEAT LOVE ORACLE
In 2017 a brand new eccentric cross-over band was born. It entered into existence with a determination to bring new colour to the musical landscape.
’Beat Love Oracle’ is a dazzling testosteron quartet, that consists of a saxophone, a marimba, an electric bass, drums and some spare electronics.
BLO contains the complexity of ingenious compositional ideas interspersed with dizzying improvisations.
BLO is hard to put in a genre, ...it's a crossover between Jazz, contemporary classical music, and electronics. All with Frank Zappa's approval it seems,... BLO is like a kind of music on its own....
