about
Prepared piano, primed guitar, extended drums and electronics.
Since two years of sonic explorations, ambient textures and unstable harmonies, the trio is collectively creating improvised music by deconstructing their instruments in an electro acoustic setting. Their music is driven by the idea of builing a meta instrument, an ego-less creative process to open up new soundworlds and to explore unheard musical territories.
Active on the European improvised music scene, Philip Zoubek, Ivann Cruz and Marcin Witkowski decided to reactivate their collaboration by releasing this first album.
This first opus is an opportunity for them to reveal this uncertain sound territory far from the hierarchies expected by this instrumentation. Over the course of these nine contrasting pieces, they take pleasure in playing with the boundaries between moving electric sound materials and acoustic textures disturbed by a few preparations. The instruments never cease to metamorphose or fade, the gestures collide and intertwine to seek a counterpoint of strings, skins or electronic sounds from which sometimes enigmatic harmonic landscapes emerge; a delightful flow of rubbing, pinching, resonance and percussion in effervescence.
