When pianist Bugge Wesseltoft and producer Henrik Schwarz materialised their collaboration “Duo”, it was clear that their synergy was both unique within, and revitalizing to, the whole genre of electro-acoustic beat-based improvisation. Now the duo becomes a trio, and the dialogue becomes a “trialogue”: bassist Dan Berglund (E.S.T., Tonbruket) brings additional dimensions and a whole new range of new musical conversational topics, and a completely new layer of sound, giving this project a different drive, yet retaining the spirit of the Duo project. Melodies, beats, and a will to surprise – not just the audience, but themselves as well – dominate. Moments of quasi-ambient atmosphere sit alongside driving energetic swathes of blues-inflected jamming from the future, near-metallic semisinister meteor storms of sound rest easily beside moments of classic jazz noire. Where other musicians have engaged in similar stylistic juxtapositions, Wesseltoft, Schwarz and Berglund set themselves apart by managing the near-impossible feat of making a perfectly coherent aesthetic, a complete musical language of their own. This is a thoroughgoing post-postmodernist soundworld (let us leave it to critics to name it, as is their wont). What fans will recognise instantly is, simply put, great music. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Wesseltoft+Schwarz+Berglund">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
