Torus is the alias of multidisciplinary artist Joeri Woudstra. Since his debut in 2012, the RMBA Tokyo graduate has developed a practice spanning music, performance, and installation. His work includes scoring global campaigns for Bottega and Armani, presenting alongside Kate Cooper at New York’s New Museum, co-producing an installation for documenta 14 with Malibu, and creating RADIATE II: an outdoor cross of speakers that layered echoes, pop samples, iPhone recordings, and live performance. The piece reflects Woudstra’s recurring interest in collective memory, nostalgia, and immersive sound.

In club contexts, Torus pushes dance music to its limits. While his recorded output often leans toward melancholic and ambient textures, his DJ sets take a maximalist, high-impact approach, deconstructing familiar scenes and reassembling them into new social and emotional spaces. Technical precision and careful control provide a framework for intuitive, deeply personal explorations of sound.

Following Starlight Divergence, an album built from stems and compositional material by Danny L. Harle and PinkPantheress, Torus released Summer of Love. Initially a Bandcamp exclusive in September 2024, the album was later reissued on all major streaming platforms for its one-year anniversary, accompanied by a limited-edition vinyl pressing designed by Woudstra himself.

Summer of Love is a concise, immersive collection that fuses sampling, ambient textures, and subtle club references into a nostalgic, time-blurred narrative that unfolds like a series of “time-altering pools of ethereal longing. "Across seven tracks, Torus examines memory, intimacy, and loss, prioritizing atmosphere and emotional depth over conventional dance music structures." The result is a record both deeply personal and expansively resonant, affirming Torus’s position at the intersection of experimental music, club culture, and contemporary art.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, KAVARI (live AV) has been cancelled and will be replaced by Torus.
