Oscar Simonsson makes a triumphant return, bringing his new band the six-piece Koop Oscar Orchestra as they perform iconic Koop songs as well as new unreleased material. After the second release Waltz for Koop, Swedish duo Koop quickly achieved cult underground status, with iconic tracks like 'Koop Island Blues', 'Come To Me' and 'Summer Sun' establishing a new sound for jazz. Consisting of Oscar Simonsson and Magnus Zingmark, the pair created innovative music rooted largely in jazz but also elements of hip-hop and dance. The Orchestra play the music of Koop, originally written by Simonsson, reinterpreting iconic material from duo alongside new unreleased tracks. On stage the group reimagine Koop’s beautiful electronic landscapes - created through piecing together samples from thousands of records - through live instrumentation and hypnotic performance. Simonsson places huge importance on the “togetherness” of the music, and with such a highly anticipated live show, the Koop Oscar Orchestra are bound to unite fans new and old.
Koop will be supported by the perpētuum band.
The perpētuum band, which plays experimental music based on pop and rock foundations, has been performing in this line-up since 2019. Their songs are fed by several genres, including jazzy, psychedelic and electronic elements. They also try to follow the philosophy of musical diversity with their lyrics, and in the spirit of this, they perform in both English and Hungarian. The functioning of the perpētuum is like an experimental kitchen, everyone brings something and in the end exciting things come out of it. In the last two years, they were able to appear not only in various Hungarian clubs and festivals, but also in the international arena. In January 2020, they also had the opportunity to perform in front of the Dutch audience. Their songs invite us on an exciting musical journey: they appeal to fans of light music, but also to listeners who like jazz. Their debut album, White Canvas, was released in the spring of 2022.
