Biography
Tauusk is an instrumental ambient/drone/doom band from Romania focused on evoking and exploring ethereal and ominous soundscapes.
Tauusk strives to play around with the power of suggestion. Through sonic ambiguity and general vagueness, the music offers only general guidelines towards basic interpretation, the rest being up to the listener's imagination. Ritual and nature plays an important part in composition, but the same is true for the color and timbre of tones, not through purity, but through texture. Due to the experimental nature of the project, form and structure, like in nature, is ever changing, recorded songs being just frozen facets of existence.
Tauusk formed as a side-project of Razvan Lazea-Postelnicu, bass player in some notable Romanian bands. Songs are, to date, recorded entirely by him, though guest musicians might accompany him in live setups. The concept quickly grew and the debut album - a double album over two hours in length - Refuge, was released in the band's first year of existence. The self-released album saw positive reviews.
Tauusk formed in May 2013 and it's debut double-album was released in March 2014 seeing positive reviews. In the summer of 2014 Tauusk played shows in Austria, Serbia and Romania, with or without additional members, opening for bands like Celeste, Reka, Show me a dinosaur.
