Tony Buck - drums
John Butcher - saxophones
Burkhard Stangl - guitar
This relatively newly formed trio (2011) brings together elements from Tony Buck - John Butcher and Burkhard Stangl - John Butcher past collaborations in several projects, such as Polwechsel, Extended Heritage and combinations that included pianist Magda Mayas. Their music is characterised by a sense of energy and direction.
Julian Cowley writes about the trio's performance at London Musicians’ Collective’s 16th Annual Festival of Experimental Music:
“... The trio’s music had vitality and a sense of purpose. It took improvisatory risks, displayed individual virtuosity and collective alertness. It was genuinely exciting and it sounded really good. Buck is a wonderfully oblique energiser, relentlessly attending to texture and percussive colour as he generates momentum. Stangl’s clenched or splintered chords, pedal-swell and dramatic attack proved a great foil for Butcher’s intensity, inventiveness and cliche-free expression."
