The Santos Silva / Zetterberg / Lindwall trio's second album takes the musical creation a step further by adding live electronics for real time sound treatment to an unique conceptual approach to composition & improvisation rooted in both free jazz and contemporary classical music.
The trio Susana Santos Silva / Torbjörn Zetterberg / Hampus Lindwall emerged in 2015 with their first album If Nothing Else (Clean Feed) which was received with critical acclaim, described as "guaranteed a unique listening experience" (JazzIn), "It is art!" (Gapplegate Music Review) and "unique sound and style" (New York City Jazz Record).
On their new album "Hi, who are you?" they have taken the musical creation a step further by adding live electronics for real time sound treatment. Different techniques from experimental electronic music is juxtaposed with simple use of electric guitar effects to obtain tight and highly emotional sound.
