”Powerfully beguiling from first note to last and an early contender for album of the year across any number of categories. Magical stuff.” Ian Patterson All About Jazz 2022
“Pushes boundaries further than ever before.” Mischa Andriessen Trouw 2022
“If you get involved, you’ll be taken in a very special world of the band and experience a new interpretation of folk music.” Music Headquarter Full review, translated from German
The trio brings an immersive set of completely improvised music to their audience, drawing from years of collaboration to create an entirely new language of human connection. “We challenge our audience to experience through sound who they are. It’s about being part of something that is bigger than we are.”
Their musical journey takes listeners on a dreamlike flight, encompassing euphoric moments as well as delving into the darker and more challenging depths of the human psyche. This unique experience has unfolded all over the world, from open-air music festivals, arenas, and museums to Buddhist temples and churches. Both their debut album, ‘Under the Surface,’ and their second album, ‘Trinity, were nominated for an Edison award. Their latest release, ‘Miin Triuwa,’ has garnered critical acclaim and is regarded as their most accomplished work to date.
