Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"The music of the trio is centered around the concept of spontaneous creation, sound crafting in the moment, and co-exploration of the boundaries. Their improvisations often include a minimalistic motive or idea, which is then developed and expanded upon by each member of the trio. This collaborative process creates an energy and atmosphere that is both raw and spiritual, taking the audience on a journey of discovery with each passing moment. With a huge dynamic range, the trio moves between soft and intimate moments to explosive rockit vibes. They are not limited by genre, incorporating elements of jazz, blues, avant-garde, and beyond. They value the spirit of free expression and embrace the unexpected, creating a unique and memorable experience for every audience."-BrÖtz
