DeutschOlaf Rupp
guitar
Olaf Rupp (*1963) plays improvised music on the acoustic and electric guitar. The organic flow of his music is guided neither by chance nor by dominant, willful decisions. To him, the same level of focus and attentive energy should be present in loud and fast music as well as in softer, more subdued kinds of playing. Throughout his music, he explores how motion-clusters can be perceived as one agglomerated sound in motion. Besides many collaborations, five solo albums have been published so far on the labels FMP, RELATIVE PITCH, GROB, and GLIGG. Olaf Rupp has toured in many countries and performed with extraordinary musicians such as Paul Lovens, Tristan Honsinger, Peter Brötzmann, Butch Morris, Lol Coxhill, John Zorn, and Tony Buck. He is an outstanding solo performer on both electric and acoustic guitar. Important groups include XENOFOX, his duo with Rudi Fischerlehner, a duo with cellist Ulrike Brand, and WEIRD WEAPONS with Tony Buck and Joe Williamson.
