TRIPCYCLE

Tripcycle biography
TRIPCYCLE are a quartet from Novi Sad, Serbia; they were formed in 2005.

The phenomenon of TRIPCYCLE's music could be traced for 20 years - they're a logical continuation of rich Serbian underground scene: while there are traces of punk music with avangarde edge such is SARLO AKROBATA or DISCIPLINA KIČME, there's even more evident seal of 90's/early 00's eclectic movement which merged trip-hop with electronica, avant rock, jazz, dub, jam sessions and many other musical staples (DARKWOOD DUB, VROOOM). The music of TRIPCYCLE is organic and unique - yet self-evident as an evolution of (good) local scene. A step further which differentiates TRIPCYCLE from already mature, thoughtful and rounded-up artists is their bravery to embrace wider scope of musical influences, which was referenced only in shy traces in the previous decade: they're openly citing art-rock peak artists, such are David BOWIE and Robert FRIPP, as well as the most daring visionaries of jazz fusion, both old and new.

TRIPCYCLE will smoothly shift their musical observations between nu-jazz, post-rock, art-rock, raw trancey electronic soundscapes and psychedelia in an organic watermark of their own signature artistic statement.

The quartet comprises of Darko Jovanović (guitar), Dejan Ćirjaković (drums), Robert Fiser (bass) and Nenad Ljubičić (keyboards).

The band is also notable for their live performances and the visual component. They were doing music for various short movies. Their first release, 'Beep' saw the light of the day in 2009. Highly recommended.
