Aperatonic Trio emerged from a shared curiosity and enthusiasm for free improvisation and collective composition and has developed into a unique voice. Their music flows organically through textures and intensities, at times delicate, convivial, groovy, boisterous. They approach original compositions and other contemporary works with their characteristic nuanced style, spontaneously taking tunes into new and unexpected places. As individuals, they have toured the US and Europe and performed in various combinations together with Pacific northwest groups including The Unknowns, Nuages and Lulu Swing. They find joy and musical inspiration in cookbooks, each other and sharing a laugh after a good improvisation.
