Triptonus
Triptonus is a six-piece instrumental collective from Vienna, Austria, known for their explosive fusion of heavy distortion, old-school psychedelia, and global rhythmic influences. With a sound rooted in raw intensity and experimental freedom, Triptonus crafts progressive song structures that take listeners on a deep, immersive journey through sound.
Drawing from genres such as jazz, trip-hop, and African percussion, the band creates a sonic landscape that is as hypnotic as it is dynamic. One of their most distinctive traits is the incorporation of traditional instruments: alongside two guitars, bass and drums, their performances feature percussion instruments like bongos, darbuka, African djembe, and didgeridoo, as well as electronic samples.
This rich instrumentation allows Triptonus to weave together rhythmic elements from West African, Arabian, and Indian musical traditions—resulting in complex, trance-inducing grooves that defy genre boundaries and resonate on a primal level. Triptonus is not just a band—it’s an experience. A distorted big bang of sound and vision, inviting the audience into a void where music becomes memory, emotion, and movement.
