The Drunken Rumi’s

We are a collective of free improvisers incorporating various influences from Sufic musical traditions, African and Middle Eastern rhythms, free jazz, noise and other experimental and traditional trance music. Ranging from a-rhythmic textures and sparse sound scapes to driving rhythms and sheets of melody we aim to create spontaneous music that is suspended between the ethereal and the visceral, breaching on the ecstatic.
