Following our début at EMANEM we now present this one for CREATIVE SOURCES. It archly bears the title: "2". The rest of the cover is characterized by a telling lack of verbiage. Instead it features a veritable canopy of lush green leaves. It is intended as we trust more in living sound than in rhetoric.

It is about the inner colours of tone and the tonal aspects of sounds. Every note has its own timbre and identity and therefore it does not need any melodic, harmonic or dramaturgical system as a superstructure. It is alive and breathing and will find its way totally independent of inappropriate categorizations such as "Freejazz" or "Reductionism".

"they make a quiet, subtly shifting free music that draws heavily on Rupp's highly individual technique and Buck's ability to invest free metre with a sense of overarching order. Williamson is (...) arguably the most creative, finding stable points in the gravitational tug between his two partners to execute some beautiful playing."
THE WIRE

"the trio sound like they're undergoing a furious catering crisis, a kitchen re-organisation at five times normal speed."
