"The inspiration here is Akira Kurosawa's classic, the Seven Samurai. The film and the melodies of its (composer Fumio Hayasaka) inspired Tamás Geröly to create a space for free improvisation within his own compositional structure, with such prominent figures of Hungarian free music as Gergő Kováts and Péter Ajtai, with whom he has been forming a trio for a long time. The three musicians (who have no Far Eastern ancestros, to my knowledge) play with such dynamism, sound and imagination that blend Japan's ancient sacred and secular culture with their own improvisational musical language, which is a great achievement in itself. (...) The pre-conceived musical arcs are mosaically formed into a whole from the inner focus and discipline. This articulation is a tension-evoking and attention-grabbing device." (Attila Németh)
