Olaf Rupp (*1963) is a guitar player in improvised music. On the acoustic guitar as well as on the electric guitar he has developed a fascinatingly unique musical language which is reaching far beyond the usual genre-categories, and which is characterized above all by its free flow of musical ideas and a radical consistency in the use of intrinsic and extended playing techniques. On the electric guitar he is working among others with the resonance of overtones in divided strings and in intermodulation-effects that happen inside saturated tube amplifiers. In May 2026 the USA label PALILALIA will publish a 2LP vinyl of the electric guitar solo album FUZZY LOGIC. Earlier albums have been published on labels such as FMP, RELATIVE PITCH, GROB, GLIGG, KLANGGALERIE BAREFOOT and AUDIOSEMANTICS.www.audiosemantics.de
