PAPER TRIO
HIPPO ROAD
The Paper Trio was created when Thomas was asked to play a concert at a Paper Museum/Gallery in the countryside of Denmark. Luck had it that Randi and I were the other 2 musicians in the band.
But the gig had its caveats.We could only get money if we used actual paper to make our sounds.
So we all scrambled to find interesting types of paper in the studio there and we briefly practiced incorporating these sounds to our normal trio world.
Lo and behold! It worked. The public loved the paper sounds and the Paper Trio was born.
After that concert we were all inspired to take this trio into the studio and capture these sounds, and more.
You can hear the recorded sounds of paper stamping machines and other paper fabrication machines used.
Each piece was introduced in the studio simply with a mood or title, and then we started to play.
We hope you enjoy this effort as much as we have enjoyed making it.
Earth Calls concert first version USMIFKA 9-11 - 2016 ... In 1977 the spacecraft Voyager was sent on to a scientific journey into space. On board was "The Golden Record": a CD on which scientists had carefully chosen different fragments of sounds from the planet Earth. A message in a bottle, sent into the vast cosmic sea hoping to encounter with foreign civilisations. Among many other things, on the CD was the bulgarian folksong: "Izlel e delju Haidutin". The Voyager-spacecraft has recorded the interaction between the solarwind and the magnetic fields from the planets in our solarsystem. NASA has transformed these vibrations into sound, and thereby made it possible for the human ear to "hear" the planets.

BACH PERSPECTIVE
FLIGHT FLIGHT
Jeg har samarbejdet med Tobias van der Pals i mange år, men vi har kun spillet sammen ved forskellige projekter.
Under Corona pandemien opstod muligheden for st udbygge samarbejdet og vi dannede Bach Perspective, her er vores første single.
Tak til støtte fra KODA Kultur og tak til Jesper Andersen fra DKDM Han Xu studerende fra Kina stod for indspilningen. Gateway har igen været en fantastisk samarbejdspartner.
Det smukke cover er udarbejdet af Morten Agergaard, også tak for det smukke greb.
