This album is a celebration of curiosity and trust. During 2020 and 2021 I composed numerous pieces in my studio - poured my heart and soul out to music in challenging times. I sent these improvisations to other musicians whom I trusted. No instruction given but to record only one take, following their intuition. "Composing is just putting the right people in the right place." - John Zorn The right people were in the right place. This odd situation of not-being-together created a powerful mediated togetherness; opened spaces for the sceneries, meditations, musical paintings, outbursts, contemplations of this album - Atolls of human beings expressing themselves through music in times of separation. This album unites 5 of these comforting and wild territories - in an adventurous piece of art that funnels our curious approach in music into visible form - driven by the spirit of music. Enjoy the ride, Malo This album is dedicated to my grandmother who was the most curious listener I ever knew. And to my dear friend Ariella who trusted my musical self long before I did.
