A piece for a jazz trio and a video artist
The music composed by pianist Aki Rissanen was originally composed for an animated film. Here, the trio and the video artist interpret it in a new way. The main focus in the quartet’s piece is the communication, dynamics and spontaneous solutions between visualisation and sound.

‘Rissanen has now, if not before, reached the top in piano trio-ism.’
-Helsingin Sanomat/ JH 19/11/2012
