When Luca Aaron, Kristinn Kristinsson and Fabian Willmann played together for the first time in a rehearsal room of the Academy of Music Basel in 2014, they immediately felt a strong bond. "It was almost like salvation from the daily college-routine, to find people who also wanted to play something different," Luca Aaron grins. The trio's creative drive feeds on various influences. Some of them have inspired all members and others are more personal. To name the most important: post-rock, minimalism ? la Steve Reich, Nordic melancholy and Scandinavian folk, as well as unusual tonal colors, created by extended playing techniques and well applied electronics. In the poetic pieces on Still Light the aforementioned influences are sometimes subtly, sometimes more distinctly discernable.
