about

2 string instruments, 1 wind instrument.
2 acoustic instruments, 1 amplified instrument.
2 low-tone instruments, 1 harmony instrument... or 3 harmony instruments after all?

In this trio, areas of responsibility are constantly changing. Standing sounds mutate into organically flowing developments and transform back, according to rules of self-organization and interactions that are themselves changing.
The ensemble moves, using, shaping and forming the limited sound space communally in an aesthetic way. Each of the players finds their place, mobile, in the overall context in order to create a multi-layered sound sculpture. In a subtle way, 3 instruments move with their sonic peculiarities, phenomena and means of shaping in a precise, free and fresh way to peel the best out of what is possible in the moment.

This trio was born during several concerts as part of European improvisation meetings. Beyond the original instrumentation, an aesthetic unity quickly emerged, a common vision… and the desire to make an album.
