Preaching their sonic gospel on european venues for more than 10 years, ITHAK (for Institut Techno Harmonique d’Accordage Kosmique) distills a multilingual fusion nourished by psychedelic rock, dub, Turkish-pop, industrial music, jazz…

Founded in 2005, ITHAK revolves around the globe- trotter, composer, multi-instrumentalist Seb el Zin, surrounded by musicians raised in the world sound, aiming to imagine tomorrow’s grooves.

ITHAK draws its inspiration from all kinds of music : traditional, classical, electronic , pop from all over the globe, but also from literature: Orwell, Burroughs, surrealist poetry… From one album to the next the group reinvents itself, defies definitions and offers a free, cosmopolitan, politic and poetic journey.

Finely chiseled texts, unexpected melodies, heavy basses played on baritone saxophone and incisive drums are the key to this organic maelstrom from which emerges a new sound, unclassifiable and borderless.
