The trio includes Anthony Pateras (piano), Scott Tinkler (trumpet) and Erkki Veltheim (violin).

Drawing from improvisation, Carnatic music,20th and 21st century composition, mathematical theories and open forms of jazz, their music is fused together by virtuosic instrumentalism, critical listening and a shared philosophy of musical and physical discipline. Formed in Berlin in 2015, the band performed a 14-date European tour in September/October 2016 in support of their debut album The Moment in And Of Itself on Pateras’ Immediata label. After performing at Hobart’s prestigious MONA FOMA festival, they will be touring Europe again May 2018, in support of their second album.
