Tumorchester

Band,
Rock and Jazz

Tumorchester: Background Tumorchester started out in Hamburg, in 1988. The name was, at first, a working title, but has been used by its members until today. There have been some line-up changes; most original members are still on board to this day. Experimentation has been a constant, which explains a certain difficulty in categorizing the music. Our procedure is to develop the structure of a piece through collective improvisation. Tumorchester has had the chance to perform in the most varied locations in the recent past. Some highlights were Amsterdam, Spain, and the Czech Republic. A number of releases have trickled out in the meantime. The current line-up is Oliver Eberhardt (sax), Thorsten Hoppe (violin), Thomas Pfeuti (drums), Rahel Puffert (violin), and Kai Seemann (bass). Releases "Autohimmelfahrt" - Debut-LP "Nothing hurt as played" - Studioimprovisations "Feng Shui Katastrophen" - live via FSK radio "Partched" - Tumorchester/Uri Geller Split-Single on Fidel Bastro Records 2011 saw the release of a double-CD without label or distributor: "Melodien für Selbstabholer" (with, however, the bonus of custom artwork and packaging)
