Oren Ambarchi: Carpe Diem

Oren Ambarchi plays the guitar like a drummer – and therein lies the power of his fascinating, elusive music, in which everything is different. With his six-man ensemble Carpe Diem, Ambarchi brings a new live programme, using his recent successful albums Hubris (2016) and Shebang (2022) as the starting point: music that resists categorization, a dialogue between antipodes. Anyone who has ever been touched by Ambarchi’s unique sound magic would not want to miss this concert.

Minimal, ambient, free jazz, krautrock, techno – it all comes together in the pressure cooker of Ambarchi’s imagination. Since the 1980s, the Australian with Jewish-Iraqi roots has been making work in a variety of genres, from jazz to doom metal. With super group Carpe Diem, he creates an exciting live pendant of the sound textures he weaves in his studio.
