Ruud Voesten Releases ‘Ruud Voesten's Ambrosia’
When Covid-19 hit in March 2020, bandleader and composer Ruud Voesten (ROEST, Branie.) took the mandatory free time to dive into one of the world's most famous literary works from the Dark Ages: Dante Alighieri's Inferno. In this first part of the Divine Comedy, which is very critical on society, Dante researches his own humanity, his society and his position therein by descending through the ten rings of hell and confronting the seven capital sins.
With Inferno as his guide and the lockdown as a catalyst, Ruud reviewed his own personal connection to the capital sins. Reflecting on themes like lust, anger and betrayal brought him a wide range of connections, motives and emotions which he put to music.
‘Ambrosia’ was released on ZenneZ Records. Recording and mixing by Micha de Kanter Mastering by Wessel Oltheten Studio: Fattoria Musica (DE)
