TOIY

Tobias Schirmer: alto sax, clarinet, bass clarinet
Daniel Meyer: guitar
Finlay Panter: drums, percussion, titophone

 

 


Firmly rooted in contemporary improvised music,

the trio works with a clear and unadorned approach.

Their sound develops through close listening,

sparse materials, and an attention to how form

can emerge without being fixed in advance.


Interaction guides the music: silence is treated as a structural element, rhythm appears in shifting pulses rather than steady patterns, and melody functions more as a contour than a theme.
Decisions are taken in the moment, shaped by proximity, dynamics, and the changing balance between the instruments.


The result is a practice that remains open, precise, and responsive. Each performance traces a provisional architecture, built from texture and gesture, allowing the music to remain grounded while leaving space for constant redefinition.​​

Henry Kozok:​

"Ruhige, entspannte Improvisationen oder Experimentelles – all das passt ganz wunderbar zusammen."

Jan Granlie:
"...eine schöne und überraschend zurückhaltende Veröffentlichung, die in den Stapel der Favoriten wandert und in Zukunft oft im Plattenspieler zu hören sein wird. Eine ausgezeichnete Trio-Platte!"
