TrioColores uses up to two marimbas, three vibraphones, and two glockenspiels to perform works by French composers, exploring the potential of mallet percussion instruments.
Compositional Technique
The TrioColores believes that mallet instruments like vibraphones, marimbas, and glockenspiels can reveal new nuances and colors in compositions that a piano alone cannot produce.
Recording & Production
The album was recorded in the Angelika Kauffmann Saal in Schwarzenberg, Austria, across two sessions in April and August 2023.
Interpretation
The TrioColores' arrangements of original works for mallet instruments aim to develop a unique sonic identity while maintaining deep fidelity to the original composition.
Performer Biography
TrioColores, consisting of Matthias Kessler, Luca Staffelbach, and Fabian Ziegler, is an award-winning ensemble, having won the 'Migros Kulturprozent' and 'Chesapeake Chamber Music Competition' Lerman Gold Prize.
Album & Artwork
The album's cover picture was created by an AI, and the booklet pictures were taken by Akvilė Šileikaitė.
Composer's Artistic Vision
The TrioColores aims to move beyond the 'spectacular exotic status' of mallet percussion, hoping that audiences will appreciate the musical quality and depth of their performances as they would a piano recital.
