They function as a collective, with every member contributing equally to the writing and creative processes. Their original score for Thomas Imbach\u2019s movie\u00a0<em>NEMESIS<\/em>\u00a0will arrive in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><em>LOOM<\/em>\u00a0is the second album by KALI trio and shows the consequent development of the original style of the working band. The three Swiss musicians Nicolas Stocker (Drums), Urs M\u00fcller (E-Gitarre) und Raphael Loher (Piano) weave the various threads of their stylistic background together with relish and fresh skillfulness on their musical loom. The music, created together as an organism, is\u00a0continuously charged in the four tracks and in the overall dramaturgy of the album and unfolds its rhythmic pull and its mysterious atmosphere in a subtle and inexorable manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><em>LOOM<\/em>\u00a0consists of only four compositions, but clocks in at a few seconds short of the 45 minute mark! It\u2019s a beast in scope, but airy (literally) in feel, hence easy to inhale. Each piece plays like the equivalent of a time-lapse of a looming cloud formation \u2013 a liquid progression of shifting shapes, changing density as well as shadow and light play. By the virtue of working with subtle iterations of form and using extended swaths of time as the equivalent of a large-scale canvas, the material evokes the mechanics of trance music. The creative use of sound design and general choice of spartan aesthetics, albeit executed using acoustic instruments, emphasize styles club-inclined and tasteful. The overall effect is cinematic and mesmeric; a sonic documentation of a daydream unraveling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Although the music is emotionally gripping \u2013 defined by a dance-floor drive and a thick cinematic atmosphere \u2013 it\u2019s hard not to notice the craftsmanship and the skill level involved in bringing these songs to life. The song \u201cFolding Space,\u201d for example, is based on a pattern in 19\/8 that turns around on the offbeat against the quarter note. \u201cShipol,\u201d on the other hand, is predicated on constantly shifting piano, snare and bass drum accents, which make the song feel as if it were performed in 7\/16, and not the standard 4\/4 that it is.<br>When asked to describe their music, the band came up with: \u201cIt falls somewhere between T.C. Boyle\u2019s prose and Tarkovsky\u2019s dream-like images.\u201d It makes sense! Because the point is not to wow listeners with technique, but to create an experience via deep affect.Text: Lukasz Polowczyk<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>LINE UP:<\/strong><br>Raphael Loher: Piano<br>Urs M\u00fcller: Guitar<br>Nicolas Stocker: Drums<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong>KALI TRIO:\u00a0<em>LOOM<\/em><\/strong><br>SHIPOL 11:25<br>TRANSITORINESS 10:52<br>DRY SOUL 08:09<br>FOLDING SPACE 14:46<br><br>TOTAL: 45:12<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All music written and arranged by KALI Trio.Album produced by KALI Trio and Manuel Egger.
