  "description": "Eli Wallace, piano\n\nPablo Vazquez, double bass\n\nVasco Trilla, percussion\n\nThis trio brings together musicians from three different continents (North and South America, and Europe), each contributing their own unique regional voice to the totality of their singular group approach. Traversing the world to perform provided spaces for these three to meet - Brooklyn, NY native Eli met Pablo while on tour in Buenos Aires, Argentina, who met Vasco while traveling to Barcelona, Spain.\n\nThrough keen connectivity during their improvised sets, these three musicians adroitly build up passages, layering one unconventional sound on top of another, morphing them to erupt in surprising twists and turns. All three use their instruments in novel ways, coaxing a myriad of sounds through striking, bowing, breathing, singing, plucking, and scraping to form a complex tapestry of interlocking vibrations. The end result is music that oscillates between sustained, patiently developed passages and overflowing kinetic rhythmic and melodic activity, always relying on intense ensemble connection and intuition. While encompassing this dynamic range of musical expression, they never lose the distinctive group sound that invites the audience to join them in experiencing unbridled musical joy.\n\nAfter recording in Berlin, Germany, the trio aims to mold the music into an upcoming release and continue touring and playing concerts in Europe, beckoning listeners with open ears.\n\nEli Wallace is a pianist, improviser, and composer who resides in Brooklyn, NY, where he envisions his own projects and collaborates with like-minded artists. His work as a pianist displays a proclivity for non-idiomatic free improvisation, incorporating vast and elaborate piano preparations that John Lewis (The Guardian) describes as \"...pushing the boundaries of the prepared piano.\" His compositions employ conceptual and notational strategies to broaden the ways in which musicians produce sound and interact with one another. Over the past decade, he appeared on countless albums and performed at venues such as Roulette (Brooklyn, NY), Bemis Center (Omaha, NE), Mizzou International Composers Festival (Columbia, MO), Echoraum (Vienna, Austria), and Cave 12 (Geneva, Switzerland). Additionally, he continues to tour worldwide, performing solo and with established ensembles, and teaming up with musicians from around the globe. His sophomore solo piano album is scheduled for release by Protomaterial Records in 2026.\n\nPablo Vazquez is a double bassist from. Buenos Aires, Argentina. He has been performing free improvisation and experimental music for over 30 years and also dedicates his time to teaching free improvisation to ensembles and private students. He has performed concerts and completed tours in South America and Europe (Germany, Portugal, Netherlands, Hungary, Slovakia, Switzerland, etc) playing with Vasco Trilla, Eli Wallace, Diego Caicedo, El Pricto , Albert Cirera, Ricardo Tejero, Amanda Irarrazabal, Benjamin Vergara, Hui Chun Lin, Frode Gjerstad, Yedo Gibson, Luis Vicente, Gustavo Obligado, Miguel Mira, Jorge Torrecillas Ensamble, Marcelo Von Schultz and many others. His music was released by Discordian Records (Barcelona), Creative Sources (Lisboa), and 577 Records (Brooklyn) in addition to many other labels.\n\nVasco Trilla (born in Barcelona with Portuguese origins) is one of the most active, versatile and creative drummers of the European scene. He has recorded more than 100 albums ranging from free improvisation, jazz rock to progressive rock, metal, and ambient music. With 6 solo albums released internationally he has established himself as one of the leading voices in creative percussion. The key attributes of his success seem to consist of the three factors: imagination, cross-genre experience in performing music and the constant search for expanding the limits of the instrument. In recent years he has become one of the most solid and in-demand voices of the European free improvised scene.He has released albums on labels such as Clean Feed Records, Cuneiform Records, No Business, Not Two, Astral Spirits, Klopotec, Fmr records, Fundacja Sluchaj, Multikulti Project,Spontaneous Music Tribune, Raw Tonk, Creative Source,. Discordian Records, Gusstaff records,Urpa i Musell,Tripticks Tapes. He has collaborated with Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Ra Kalam Bob Moses, Mars Williams, Patrick Shiroishi, Elliot Sharp, Steve Swell, Susana Santos Silva, Jasper Stadhouders among many others. He has toured internationally including Brasil, China, Indonesia,Russia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Germany…",
