Genre: Jazz
FCCs: none
Review: This trio mixes free improvised music on acoustic instruments—relying on a strong rhythmical approach— and with electronic instruments and laptops in order to enhance and expand its musical universe. This universe has open, inclusive borders—drawing inspiration from the sixties' fiery free jazz, the seventies' fusion experiences with its synthesized sounds, contemporary music, avant-garde sonic searches and confident Nordic calm—but always seeks to challenge itself without becoming trapped in any orthodox means, or losing its soulful essence. ECM fans, take note.
