01 / IDENTITY & COMPOSITION[████████████████] 0dB[████████] 0dB

Three strong musical personalities united around the compositions of guitarist Jan Trösch. Innovative guitar sounds, dense harmonic ideas and an unstoppable groove characterize this exceptional instrumental trio.

The band rejects reductive categories: its dynamic spectrum extends from lyrical and contemplative murmurs to the sharpest rock outbursts. Pierre Sottas's incisive bass and Urs Wittwer's nuanced, colorful drumming give the ensemble an immediately recognizable signature.

« Questo album funziona come un piccolo orologio svizzero: benissimo... Piccole miniature cesellate ed eleganti, veicoli perfetti per l’interplay maturo dei tre protagonisti. » — Maurizio Comandini, All About Jazz (Italy)
« A trio that dialogues and trialogues, bridging rock, world, and jazz approaches... What stands out above all is the exceptional quality of the three musicians. » — Norberto Gimelfarb, Viva la Musica (AMR Geneva)
