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....
