about

Live! is the first UK album from top Swiss pianist Christoph Stiefel's Inner Language Trio. It is the first time Basho has released music from an all-European ensemble. Many of Stiefel's pieces use the compositional device of Isorhythms, a concept dating from the middle ages but which leads to a very contemporary sound.Stiefel feels that this collection contains 'rhythmic complexity but also soul and sensitivity. There is also quite a portion of wildness.' The album summarises and develops eight years of work with the trio and finds the musicians reaching remarkable levels of empathy and interaction.
