Triad - TRIAD (2024) [Hi-Res]

TRIAD, composed of Dominick Farinacci on trumpet, Michael Ward-Bergeman on accordion, and Christian Tamburr on marimba, is a musical trio that came together in London to workshop a new show for the West End. Despite the physical distance between their instruments, the musicians immediately felt a strong sense of camaraderie and shared humor. With some guard rails in place at the sessions, the three explorers got a sense that they had something - a new sound that could go far if they could just get out on the open road. TRIAD's members draw from a wide range of influences but find common ground in their appreciation for melodic compositions. While rooted in a classical approach, TRIAD infuses their music with various styles from South America, Argentina, Brazil, and New Orleans, presenting them in a fresh and innovative manner. Their repertoire spans from Kurt Weill to Screaming Jay Hawkins to John Mayer, with each song chosen for its melodic content and integrated into the overarching TRIAD concept. The result is a musical journey that tells a story of the world, taking listeners on a captivating ride from beginning to end.

‘To define the TRIAD sound, I think of how we build these beautiful and lyrical melodies and a sound around them - a new environment for them to live in.’ (Dominick Farinacci) ‘From inception TRIAD was steeped in a classical approach, blending virtuosity with the free spirit of Jazz improvisation, we breathe some fresh air and joy into each genre we touch. (Christian Tamburr) Throughout their performances, TRIAD embraces humor and joy, allowing their music to disarm critical faculties and transport the audience to a place of healing. These three friends have discovered happiness, laughter, and excitement in a world of constant challenge. By simply having fun and inviting others to share in the joy of music, TRIAD creates a memorable and uplifting experience for all. ‘For me, it’s about the low end, specifically with the accordion and marimba. Those frequencies are not only heard but felt by the audience, creating a resonance between the ensemble and the listeners’ (Michael Ward-Bergeman) TRIAD presents their self-titled debut in the spring of 2024. A carefully collected set of tunes cover a broad range of influences, all capturing the fresh sound of the ensemble.
