Caktus’ musik befinder sig imellem det skrøbelige og det stærke - det smukke og det voldsomme – kammermusik og grooves. Caktus er tæt på at være en dobbelttrio, med to basser og to saxer, og med denne samklang og spejling er det oplagt at også temaer spejles, vendes, vrides og udfordres. Gruppen dannedes i Aarhus i 2017, og har siden da spillet mere end 40 koncerter rundt om i Danmark. Debut-udgivelsen ’Under Solen udkom i september 2020 og har fået mange roser med på vejen, bl.a. en Steppeulvs nominering som ’Årets Komponist’, en nominering til ’Årets Album’ ved Danish Music Awards Jazz 2021, og en plads på både Passive/Aggressive’s og Dagbladet Information’s årsliste over de 20 bedste danske udgivelser i 2020. Det er den akustiske lyd der er i fokus og lysten til eksperimentere og improvisere ind og ud af de ellers stramme kompositioner. Bandets medlemmer kendes fra bl.a. ”Yune”, ”Køs”, ”The New Family”, ”Bear With Me”, ”Narcosatanicos”, ”Josiah Konder”, og ”I Just Came From the Moon”.

ENGLISH

Caktus’ music is placed in between fragility and strength – beauty and intensity - chamber music and grooves. Caktus is almost a double-trio with two double basses and two saxophones, which gives the group a lot of strength, but also challenges the arrangements. In the music, you will experience the reflections of the instruments, and the reflected trio-format, as well as reflected and twisted melodies and ideas. The group was founded in Denmark in 2017, and has since then played more than 40 concerts in Northern Europe. Their debut-album ‘Under Solen’ (Under the sun), was released in 2020 on Barefoot Records, and has received a lot of positive reviews and attention, a.o a nomination at the Danish Critics Prize as ‘Composer of the year’, a nomination at Danish Music Awards Jazz as ‘Album of the year’, and on the newspaper Information and the magazine Passive/Aggressive’s list of top 20 albums of the year.
Caktus focuses on the acoustic sound and are driven by their love and eager for experiments and improvisation.
