The evening will be opened by Latvian bass player and improviser Uldis Vitols. Lukraak plays post-silly music of crooked beauty. Using alto saxophone, drums, flutes, found objects as well as their own centered bodies and flying limbs, they produce something of their own with a haphazard attitude. Intricate sonic mosaics and vivid tapestries of complex sound masses are created along the edges of experimental jazz and neo-neo-dada-dada.
Lukraak has previously performed at Porta-Jazz Festival and Valkhof Festival, as well as at venues in Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Denmark and France. They are individually and collectively active members of the vibrant experimental music scene of Amsterdam. Together with Jaap Blonk, they form Lukjaap. On 26th of September 2025 their debut album ‘Zaalig’ was released on LukRecords.
