3ofmillions - Abstruction 3ofmillions is Adrian Klumpes, Abel Cross and Finn Ryan, an improvising electro-acoustic jazz trio from Sydney Australia.
this is their new albu: Rufus Records welcomes another innovative Sydney piano trio into the fold with the release of 3ofmillions’ second full-length album, Abstruction. Recorded while artists-in-residence at Yvonne and Arthur Boyd’s Bundanon, this disc captures many of the unique electroacoustic textures, and oblique rhythmic interplay for which 3ofmillions are now renowned; it unites and synthesises the elements of their individual expressions (Adrian Lim-Klumpes – Triosk, Pivot; Abel Cross – Trio Apoplectic, Pure Evil Trio; Finn Ryan – The Splinter Orchestra, Prophets) into new sounds, structures and textures for adventurous ears.
3ofmillions’ music is readily comparable with the likes of successful Sydney trios The Necks, Alister Spence Trio, and Klumpes’ previous trio project, Triosk, but distinguishes itself by the nature of their sonic palette and the unique interactive language Klumpes, Cross and Ryan have developed. As Australia’s only true electroacoustic piano trio, their spectrum of colour and texture is unsurpassed. With mix and mastering credits to Richard Belkner (Free Energy Device) and Oscar Gaona (301) respectively, this album is a lush document of one of Australia’s foremost improvising piano trios.
Initial reception of Abstruction: “An interesting new work, which perhaps not sees a change of sound, but I think it deepens the sound of what they are doing… a most enjoyable disc.” Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly 768, 15 February 2011, Netherlands
