Event Description

Many Things is a cross genre instrumental trio, treading the fine line between composition and improvisation. The inventive tapestry of sound and music takes the listener on a journey full of twists and turns.

Their second album Two Many Things is still about the development of ideas in sound – spontaneous and instantaneous – but the compositional element is more pronounced, with emphasis on structure, where soloistic endeavors happen in a collective space.
