R.OT. started to perform in Belgium, somewhere in the late nineties as a spin-off of Toss, who released two records on (k-raa-k)3. Evolving from a twopiece, the band quickly mutated into a collective exploring sound in pride of ‘free-music’.
R.O.T. progressively took the shape of a mainly acoustic big band introducing a lot of different analog sound sources (guitars, organs, wind instruments, percussion, objects, modified electronics, etc...), and later on skipping pretty much everything that reminds someone of a traditional rock band.
The sound source is only one small part of their overall sound though: like no one else, they manage to capture the sound and texture of the place where they record in their music.
The core-members are still Laurent Cartuyvels (ex-toss), Bram Borloo (Partkldog) and Christophe Piette (Gangalai & Gourabai), but sometimes time the band still performs and records in a slightly different line-up.
