What happens when Belgian sitar player Nicolas Mortelmans crawls into the studio with none other than Stef Kamil Carlens, Simon Segers, Tim Vanhamel and Roland van Campenhout? Enough to keep you on the edge of your seat. From intense and deeply meditative to explosive, the new album 'Space' will take you on a psychedelic trip.
Nicolas Mortelmans studies sitar with the likes of Anoushka Shankar and conquers hearts and stages. His debut album MĀYĀ (2024, WERF Records) was a hit. For his second release on Rotkat Records, he returns to his roots of psychedelic rock, ambient, funk and jazz.
He surrounds himself well with his 'improvisation collective' with an edge. The result is a unique encounter on stage with raw, spontaneous and honest music.
