Emanuele Maniscalco - Maniscalco/Bigoni/Solborg (2015)

Francesco (A) is Italian - love takes him to Denmark in 2009. Emanuele (B) is Italian as well - music takes him to Denmark in 2012. Mark (C) is Danish - with deep latin roots.

A and C often play together. A and B already know each other well. C and B feel it natural to meet and set up this constellation. A, B and C enjoy playing concerts in small churches. Improvisation is a vital process for A, B and C.

What you are reading may not be too helpful for understanding the music they play. Then imagine a contemporary chamber ensemble with some dirt in it - a small choir where each voice raises from the ground.

A potentially-folk project.

Slightly less mysterious:

This trio is about knowing the music well enough to navigate freely and improvise, as a unit, with and around the written material. To instantly react freely to each other and create music with authenticity and presence. A musical attitude that the group has worked intensely on in recent years. The debut album holds a poetic and very melodic chamber musical expression contrasted by textures, preparations and microtonality. An almost architectural blend of abstraction and warmth is a strong ambition and trademark of the group.

This music does not care about genre or style. It is essentially about musical conversation and made for ears interested in dialogue.
