Octante-et-Onze
Omnivorous Music
Octante-et-Onze's "omnivorous music" feeds on the seething energy and musical diversity of its musicians, blending influences from pop, jazz and rock. With guitar riffs, atmospheric saxophone, synthesizers and eccentric rhythms, the Bernese quartet unveils a new facet in their second album "Susmentionné", to be released in 2023.
Formed in 2018 by four musicians from the French-speaking part of Switzerland, then brought together in Berne by their music studies, the group quickly made a name for itself with its unique style and explosive energy, seducing an ever-growing audience during its many performances on the most varied stages.
New album: Susmentionné released in September 2023. Octante-et-Onze is heading in a more amplified direction. A collaboration with singer Hannah Biedermann brings a pop edge to the album.

Octante-et-Onze's first album: Sous-jacent, released in June 2021. A jazz album, with some minimalist influences. A more acoustic album than Susmentionné, but worth the detour nonetheless.
