ORCHESTRE TOUT PUISSANT MARCEL DUCHAMPFounded in 2006 by Vincent Bertholet (Hyperculte) Swiss band
OTPMD is a large orchestra that owes its name to both Franco’s legendary Congolese band and iconoclast artist Marcel Duchamp. The band is made up of 12 musicians with backgrounds in jazz, classical and improvised music. Their music is a mix of free jazz, post punk, high life, brass band, symphonic music et kraut rock. Transcendental, almost ritualistic, the music features powerful lyrics, declaimed against the backdrop of a world that is falling apart.
The band is based in Geneva and has performed all across Europe including prestigious festivals Paléo Festival de Nyon, Fusion Festival, Incubate, Womad, Bad Bonn Kilbi and Jazz à la Villette.
This is their first US tour.
