The four international members of ORIGAMI Quartet, formed in Autumn 2008 in Lucerne, Switzerland, each represents one side of one of these sheets. The group have all studied at the world-renowned jazz department at Lucerne University, sharing teachers who are among the leading lights of contemporary jazz, such as trombonist Nils Wogram and guitarist Frank Möbus. The band members’ varied geographic and cultural backgrounds is mirrored in their vast array of influences, which range from Jimi Hendrix to contemporary classical composer Morton Feldman, and from Rage against the Machine to south Indian classical music. ORIGAMI Quartet aim to fold all these expansive influences together into something that sounds fresh and new, not bound to any specific genres or categories.
