Album Notes

The mp3trio : a new concept in jazz : no names - no profiles - no bios - just a band

track 8: "l'Eau" (the title-track of the mp3trio's first album.) The sound and life of water.
I live in an old house by the river close to a waterfall. When it rains the fields are flooding and the water touches the houses. At night when I sleep I have my windows open and outside I can hear the music of water, with and without dynamics, powerful and almost silent.

track 1: "La civetta balla/ the owl dances"
One night an owl was standing in the middle of the road and I had to stop the car. The owl performed a short magical dance and disappeared. Since that night I think a lot about the owl ... many things have changed in my life.

track 2: "Buona mattina/ good morning"
Every morning, nature performes. It is always a beautiful morning sunrise. Good morning heavenly dawn. I love watching you.

track 3: "Petite fille - vox"
In her own sweet way she is a little girl, a woman of the world and a source of strength and energy. It's about the incredible beauty of a person. I love you.

track 4: "La civetta"
I know you as a bird of the night and you know many things. You probably can predict life ... "

track 5: "Free for 1 hand"
I want to run my hand
along the poetry of your landscape
discover with my eyes shut tight
its cliffs
in the blood of your lips
the poem inside you
rocks dances sings
follows your lead
your every breath
your every move
your sleepless nights
cling to me in tatters
and I hunger for your fire
in the ashes of your silence.
( Michél A. Thérien
from his book: Poems - The wilderness within
Poèmes - Corps sauvage)

track 9: "Buona mattina - intro"
"Good morning world, it is time to wake up. I'm already awake .... but I like staying in bed a little longer to remember my dreams.

track 10: "Sketch 1"
You let yourself go sometimes. Just starting without a specific plan and idea. Anything goes in the labyrinth of improvisation. Then suddenly you reach a platform of clarity. Do not stay there too long as you have to get back to that thoughtless beginning.

track 11: "Un attimo/ one moment"
A tiny moment of noise, sadness, confusion, silence, happiness, awareness ... and thanks. "
