“The album is a constant exercise in exchange between the human and the mechanical, the traditional and the cutting edge, the frightful and the bittersweet, aimed at achieving a certain flowing equilibrium … explores the cycles of life with a ceremonial air that is deeply forceful.”
- All About Jazz

A Danish guitarist, Norwegian vocalist/saxophonist and Belgian reed player, all in their late 20s or early 30s, pool their talents on this album combining elements of jazz and classical chamber music/new music, Nordic folk music, western and non-western vocal traditions, free improvisation and looped electronic voicescapes. The trio balances the sensuous and the stark, melodic grace and textural interplay, counterpoint and freewheeling invention on this 2009 album. At times it is quite eerie and primal; at other times the enchantment is more ethereal.
