Between his native Belgium, France, where he works and Germany where he studied, Jozef Dumoulin belongs to thoses young european artists who are used to go from one side of the border to another. His ability to mix differents genres of music is not voluntary, it’s peferctly natural. He was student of John Taylor, and came to jazz by the back door of rock and pop from the 60’s and 70’s. He collaborated with some artists as Octurn, Magic Malik, Franck Vaillant Benzine, Bhedam or Christophe Wallemme. After the release of his first album, Trees are always right of his ban Lidlboi in 2009, Jozef Dumoulin begins for the first time the adventure in a trio with the electric bass player Trvor Dunn (Mr Bungle, Fantomas, John Zorn, Andrew D’Angelo) and Eric Thielemans (Lidlboj, EARR, A Snare is a Bell, Maak’s Spirit) on drums. With Rainbow Body, Jozef Dumoulin continues his quest for the ‘juste milieu’ close to electronic music, experimental music and jazz.

This album explores the experience of foreigners in France. I see myself as belonging to a long genealogy of American artists who moved to Paris to escape the USA, a country that does not support its creators. Unlike my illustrious predecessors, I arrived in France during a pandemic that paralyzed the Parisian artistic scene. Paradoxically, the cancellation of live performances made it easier for me to collaborate with Parisian musicians and focus on composing. Rooted in the values and approaches of jazz, this album offers a musical view of Paris in the Covid-19 era. The ensemble’s direction, concept, and instrumentation is electronic and contemporary, using musical languages outside of the jazz tradition. Notably it mobilizes concepts from South Indian Carnatic music and North Africa. If French jazz musicians tend to mystify the New York and American music scene, having made the reverse journey, my music celebrates the mixing of culture that makes Paris a musical center.
