Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"Three musicians coming from different musical backgrounds and different creative experiences meet to create a totally improvised music characterized by a continuous alternation of moods and feelings.

The result is a particular suite structure vitalised by a set of sonorities, fragments, atmospheres seeming to constitute independent parts, but actually forming a unicum.

The surprising interweaving of the three instrumental voices gives rise to a single voice, a single sound in which the individual instruments appear to be cancelled out."-Stefano Arcangeli
