Szun Waves

Another group for the first time in Romania, Szun Waves is composed of British producer Luke Abbot on synthesizers, Australian Laurence Pike (part of the PVT group) on drums and British Jack Wyllie (member of Portico Quartet) on saxophone. Their style is defined by a combination of spiritual and experimental jazz with electronic music. The Pitchfork publication states that they are the element that “is unifying the fertile London jazz scene with the long-lasting tradition of the psychedelic genre.”

Their debut album At Sacred Walls was released in 2016, and in 2018 they launched a sequel, New Hymn To Freedom. About the last album, James Holden (who will be present at the festival as well) said: “The trio has subtly integrated everything from jazz, psychedelic, to ambiental, kosmic, experimental electronics in their effort to achieve some sort of enlightenment through the live performance”.
