The sublime tones of three instruments meet and create a lyrical universe. Time stands still, disappearing into the sound of another world, yet the three instruments are here and now, playing with melodies and musical idiom in improvised movements as well as traditional themes.
– The hang with its rhythmic soft and mellow metal tone – The harp with its smooth crisp string tone – The bass clarinet with its deep artful and inscrutable tone.
The instruments twine around each other, finding new tone nuances in the melody and lifting them from one instrument to the other: Melody and accompaniment change focus, the tone quality of just these instruments captures the musical expression, always here and now, where time is no longer a factor to be reckoned with.
“We experience all this when we play together, and we wish to share this energy, to draw others into the music and so they become part of the performance. We wish to share the experience of time slowing and stopping so there is just now, this moment. In space and in us” (Zafir).
