unified field by Frances-Marie Uitti, Milana Zarić, Elisabeth Harnik
The interplay between the cello, harp and piano has been a long standing fascination and invokes further research - the intersection between plucked, bowed and hammered strings seems to result in ambiguous percussiveness in co/relation with the sounds of the extended strings. This album investigates the mysterious space inhabited by and evolving from subtle lines in conjunction with dense textures and innate rhythms borne out of this imaginary landscape.
I am grateful to Bojan Djordjević and his Ring Ring festival - one of the long standing beacons of improvised music in the Balkans - who put his trust in me and gave me carte blanche to invite the incredible artists Frances Marie Uitti and Elisabeth Harnik to Belgrade in November 2021. The trio got together for the first time as a group for a live broadcast of their collaborative imagination, in Studio 6 of Radio Belgrade. The resulting pieces can be heard on this album.
