Tied & Tickled Trio - Ea1 Ea2 (2000)

The second album by Tied & Tickled Trio, "EA1 EA2," released in 1999, marks the ensemble's transition from expressive free jazz to a more restrained and introverted sound. The music is constructed upon a combination of minimalism, cool jazz elements, classical piano allusions, and meticulously calibrated electronic textures. The record is characterized by a melancholic atmosphere and an emphasis on studio experimentation, distancing itself from the traditional aesthetics of live performance. A significant role in the compositional structure is played by polyrhythmic percussion and the contrast between synthetic electronic noises and the warmth of brass and woodwind instruments.
