Ragawerk, that’s Max Clouth and Martin Standke. Loops and ragas, electronics, jazz and a good pinch of Krautrock, Indian and Western sound elements merge into a unique fusion. The band’s roots in jazz remain unmistakable. Indian ragas and European-influenced jazz craftsmanship become ragawerk. Sometimes wistful or melancholy, always with great clarity. Critics speak of “floating worlds of sound” (Jazzpodium) and “driving, beat-heavy pieces, but also gentle incantations” (Jazzthing). It celebrates the fusion of ragas with European-influenced jazz as a “pretty hyped amalgam” (Jazz N More) and attests Ragawerk “a wonderfully herb-rock-like mixture that has everything to offer from meditation to jazz” (Musikreviews) – “a global fusion with the scent of incense” (Eclipsed)
