'Ambrosia II' out now! During a residency in 'Il Palmerino'' in Dante's own Florence, Voesten continued Dante's musical journey with the climb of mount Purgatory. Here we encouter sin, sinner and virtue to finally reach paradise. Ruud Voesten (1987) is a drummer and composer currently living in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. When Covid-19 hit in March 2020, Ruud took the mandatory free time to dive into one of the world's most famous literary work from the Dark Ages: Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. In this poem, 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, climbing mount Purgatory and reaching paradise.
