Maria Faust - Farm Fresh (2019)

A new and adventurous trio unites American and Eastern European experimental music.

Saxophonist and composer Maria Faust is best known for her unique sound and from her large groups including Maria Faust Sacrum Facere, Machina, Maria Faust Jazz Catastrophe, and In the Beginning (with Kira Skov). Her musical language crisscrosses over different styles, influenced by Estonian folk music and modern classical music, while at the same time presenting a romantic wave of modern experimental jazz music.

Shifting focus from her award-winning large groups, this time Faust presents a different kind of a project. The Faust/Dahl/Walter trio is a new and experimental avant-garde constellation - unashamed to express strong emotions and unafraid to explore differences between the musical traditions of American and Eastern European. The group’s sound is a melting pot in which listeners can hear influences from free-jazz, punk, metal, folk, and classical music. All the material is written and arranged by Maria Faust using body memory as a tool for inspiration.
