Octurn is unpredictable. For over a decade now, it has staked out its own musical landscapes by continually mixing and blending approaches and gamely covering its tracks, all the while keeping originality and searching spirit.From its early days, Octurn has been bringing a music both powerful and unique in nature, which cannot be captured into any category, and developing an orchestral style that situates it in the most contemporary spheres: Octurn delivers complex jazz that respects the traditions of the written and improvised music, while stretching its boundaries. The collective's music is further typified by Asian musical elements, contemporary electronic sounds and a certain flavour for orchestral masses dwelling in the solist's background.
Octurn's new projects draw up fascinating geometries. The music is instilling the emptiness of collective meditation, evoking a state of conscious dreaminess, a music which goes from freezing time to suddenly bursting into a deafening chaos.

'At the start of the evening Octurn performed in a way everyone can expect on a jazz festival: the magical moment when an unexpected kind of music takes you by the ears on a trip beyond all conventions'.
