Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp (Switzerland), Dakou Dakou
Founded in 2006 in Geneva, 90 years after Dada, by Vincent Bertholet (Hyperculte), the 12- piece Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp has released 5 albums on the highly influential Bongo Joe Records and played the European festival circuit for years. This will be their second attempt to conquer America – following the release of the latest album, Ventre Unique. The band’s name is an homage to some of the classic Congolese groups (Orchestre Tout Puissant Konono n°1, Orchestre Tout Puissant Polyrytmo, TPOK Jazz etc…) and to one of the greatest provocateurs of 20th century art. Their music mixes echoes of The Ex, Moondog, kraut rock, minimalism, high life, symphonic touches and punk outbursts – and yet, none of it is terribly relevant: OTPMD has managed to invent its own reality – or, if you prefer, a simulation. Their live performances are mesmerizing affairs with an almost ritualistic slant and arrangements so tight they seem to re-organize chaos itself.
