RuinsZu represents an absolute powerhouse in the noise jazz and free improv scene. It is a phenomenal collaboration between Italian noise jazz masters, the iconic Zu, and Japanese drumming icon Tatsuya Yoshida, co-founder of the renowned group Ruins. This extraordinary joint project is a culmination of the artists’ interests, incorporating various styles of jazz, but also delving into heavier sounds like metal, noise, and stoner music. Additionally, it features free improvisation and experiments with sound possibilities, pushing the boundaries of instrumental use. A RuinsZu concert is a uniquely immersive experience. At live performances, audiences can expect a mix of material from both Ruins and Zu, as well as new compositions that have emerged from their first concert tour as a single musical project in 2024.
