The world of music has raved for more than a decade over Klaus Paier, an accordionist from Austria, and Asja Valcic, a cellist from Croatia. The German trade periodical "Jazzthing" praised "how timelessly and genre-transcending the duo makes music while taking jazz as its basis. Listening to one another, communicating, stitching anew onto the other's ideas." Applause came from "The Guardian" for the "gripping interplay," and "Paris Move" saw "an invitation for the listener to cross boundaries." For their SKIP debut album entitled "Fractal Beauty" the two have now expanded their phonic cosmos by adding Gerald Preinfalk, a woodwind player from Vienna whose CV includes work with the Vienna Art Orchestra as well as the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Bass clarinet, soprano sax and clarinet provide meticulously coordinated colorings that nestle perfectly on the sounds of accordion and cello. In terms of its dynamics, virtuosity and fragility, the kaleidoscope of audiophonics devised on "Fractal Beauty" is a bold blueprint on the path to perfection in sound that offers a balance of freedom and form, complex music and compelling melodies, suspense and release, and above all the purest of poetry.
