TENGGER (kr/jp)
Prepare for a spiritual experience with the Japanese-Korean family band and their drone music!
TENGGER is a traveling musical family, made up of Pan-Asian couple, ITTA (from South Korea) and MARQIDO (from Japan), who create their brand of psychedelic New-Age drone magic through the use of Voice, Indian harmonium, and Toy instruments (played by ITTA) and synths & electronics (played by MARQIDO).
The duo originally started out with the moniker “10” but since the birth of their son RAAI (who joins them on tour and playing Voice, Synth, Toy Instrument, Dance performance on stage) in 2012, have called themselves TENGGER (meaning ‘unlimited expanse of sky’ in Mongolian) to mark the expansion of the family.

It also means ‘huge sea’ in Hungarian.
Travel, as spiritual experience in real environments, and the sound between the space and the audience have been central themes of their works. The family’s yearly pilgrimages inform every aspect of their art.
Pitchfork: "From field recordings to Krautrock to something they call 'aural hang-gliding', TENGGER have truly begun to put their stamp on psychedelic music."
Uncut Magazine: "There's a level of detail in TENGGER's music that sets them apart from other drone artists, sounds nimbly woven together rather than painted in broad brushstrokes."
Bandcamp Daily: "...like stepping through a glowing portal and gasping at the wonders of another world”
Stereogum: "Their shimmering synthesizers and reverberant chants invoke the most ethereal end of krautrock..."

Mix a bunch of Casio keyboards with Geisha singing, video game scores and SPA music, add polaroid pictures from 80’s charter vacations, and you have the recipe for TURIST's music.
Though not easily squeezed into genres, the sounds from pianist and composer Rasmus Kjær’s synthesizers have an alluring radiance. Whether you call it kraut, psyc, synth improvisations or ‘Jazz played on...cheap synthesizers!’ (as Polish magazine JazzPRESS put it), Turist presents a constant urge to explore – just like a real tourist.
The beginning of TURIST came when Rasmus Kjær released the award-winning synth album Turist in 2019. He soon started performing live under the stage name TURIST playing in Denmark, Poland and Japan.
An experienced musician, Rasmus Kjær has toured US and Europe with renowned band Under Byen as well as Klimaforandringer and SVIN and has released two acoustic improvisational albums (Broken Bow featuring Kresten Osgood and Jonas Westergaard and the organ solo Orgelimprovisationer). He also payed tribute to the multidimensional drummer Jerome Cooper and the album For Jerome. All this gave him a reputation of being a delicately sensitive and risk- taking pianist.

TENGGER (kr/jp)
Rørende, smukt, fængende: oplev en familie og deres unikke lyd!
TENGGER, et familieband med base i Seoul i Sydkorea bevæger sig i genrerne ambient, drone, krautrock og new-age. Deres årlige pilgrimsrejser i naturen ligger til stor inspirationskilde for deres hengivende musik, hvor man som lytter glemmer tid og sted og lader sig flyde med i deres toner
TENGGER betyder ‘unlimited expanse of sky’ på Mongolsk, hvilket er meget sigende om deres musik.
Tiden de ikke bruger på musikken eller/og i naturen, rejser de rundt i hele verden og performer. De har bl.a. spillet på festivaler som Le Guess Who og SXSW.
Bandet består af parret Itta og Marqido og deres søn Raai, som sammen skaber et lydunivers, der kombinerer ambient og drone med elektronisk musik med den karakteristiske, repetitive “kraut-puls”, som man kender den fra bands som Cluster, Harmonia og NEU!. Tengger kalder selv deres musik for "new age drone magic", og de fremfører den på harmonium, vokal og synths.
"TENGGER was the most magical of all the performances I watched."- Bob Boilen (NPR Tiny Desk, All Songs Considered).
Turist (dk)
TURIST er som en køleskabslåge fra slutfirsernes København, beklædt med magneter fra hele verden. Med plastik-keyboards og en særpræget, kønsløs vokal skaber Rasmus Kjærgaards soloprojekt associationer til charterrejser, videospilsmusik, soundtracks fra billige spa-ophold og småerotiske telenovelas.
TURIST er jazz spillet på billige synthesizere fra firserne, psykedelisk new-age, et nik til krautrock og solblegede reklamer for dit næste rejsemål.
TURIST-projektet begyndte, da Rasmus Kjær udgav det prisvindende synthalbum Turist i 2019. Kort efter begyndte han at optræde live under navnet TURIST og spillede koncerter i Danmark, Polen og Japan.
Rasmus Kjær er en erfaren musiker, der har turneret i både USA og Europa med det anerkendte band Under Byen samt med Klimaforandringer og SVIN. Han har også udgivet to akustiske improvisationsalbums (Broken Bow med Kresten Osgood og Jonas Westergaard, samt solo-udgivelsen Orgelimprovisationer). Derudover har han hyldet den multidimensionelle trommeslager Jerome Cooper med albummet For Jerome. Alle disse projekter har givet ham ry som en inderlig og risikovillig pianist med en særlig fornemmelse for det delikate.
