Mirror Trio
Date: Mar 31,2012
Time: 07:30 PM - 10:00 PMMirror Trio is a Norwegian/American improvising sextet drawing inspiration from contemporary music, electro-acoustic improv, and noise. As the name suggests, the group is a double trio of two percussionists, two contrabassists, and two guitarists. Rather than doubling parts, the doubled instrumentation provides an opportunity to bridge the differences between international musical traditions through interaction with like instruments. In addition to the three instrumental groups, the sextet consists of three pairs of musicians who regularly work together as duos as well as in larger groups. These two layers of internal subgroups knit together the group sound, while providing enough diversity to constantly challenge all assumptions. Jacob Felix Heule & Kyrre Laastad: percussion Tony Dryer & Guro Skumsnes Moe: contrabass Håvard Skaset & Håvard Volden: guitar
