qÖÖlp is the encounter of two worlds: the hyperactive Ceccaldi brothers from Orléans meet the no less turbulent duo Graupe & Lillinger from Berlin. The result is just as energetic as finely chiselled. Different forms mingle, layered on each other, to create an endlessly moving collective order driven by a constant desire for confrontation.

"You won't find a ready-labelled pigeon-hole for this astounding music. Rock patterns, the ‘instant composing’ of jazz, minimalism, slivers of folk, contemporary chamber music: everything appears to evaporate immediately and add up to something new.  This music needs no set pieces. Stop and go flow in a billowing current. But nothing is arbitrary here. An ideal formation has been found for this capricious playing. Three string instruments plus drums – downright unique, just like this music." Ulrich Steinmetzger
