Interaction, dynamics, intensity and fun of playing are the driving forces in the music of this new band. The compositions are rooted in jazz with elements of contemporary improvised music mixed with the rhythm, groove, and the atmosphere of styles from around the world. The group plays from a free attitude towards the pieces which always gives rise to other angles.

That gives percussionist Onno Witte the opportunity to apply his surprising style in which he is taking advantage of a large number of colours and sounds and rhythmic possibilities.

Bassplayer Wiro Mahieu appears in unexpected places in the music. He strives for melodic low that is full of contrasts in themes and solos, but the bass does not only act as bass. His guide, the give and take of musical space provides a distinct dimension.

Bernhard Reinke in his game makes use of the many different variations of the guitarsound, the tone can be jazzy and hot, corrosive and bright, the melodies attractive or dissonant, the chords whimsical or beautifull and soft. The music of this trio may be light, heavy, swinging, sad or happy, but also powerful or whirling.
