Malaby / Ber / Dumoulin

Tony Malaby (Charlie Haden’s Liberation Orchestra, Paul Motian’s Electric Bebop Band, Mark Helias’ Open Loose, Fred Hersch, Tim Berne, Kris Davis), Jozef Dumoulin (Lidlboj, Octurn, The Red Hill Orchestra met Dan Weiss & Ellery Eskelin, Plug & Pray met Benoît Delbecq) and Samuel Ber (KARTET, Pentadox, Benoît Delbecq & The Multiplexers, Michael Attias, Bo Van Der Werf Mantra Magnets) explore music inspired by currents, impulses, textures, angles, memory, rotations, distances, intentions, territories, speeds, key changes and intervals. Their sense of play drives them to constantly redefine their music, and this playfulness is also reflected in the recording process for their second album.

With confidence, openness and patience, the trio navigate through composed and improvised pieces. The result is, as one critic wrote at the Klaeng Festival in March, ‘an infinite stream of consciousness’.
