The Off-Rat label presents a special collaborative release from Arve Henriksen (trumpet, voice), Giovanni Di Domenico (piano, Fender Rhodes, electronics), and Tatsuhisa Yamamoto (drums, percussion). Pianist/composer Giovanni Di Domenico formed this trio because of the extremely special quality of the sound he wanted to achieve within a musical group, and the choice of the musicians involved related to that special quality. "Clinamen," in ancient Roman philosopher Lucretius' De Rerum Natura, is the magic force that makes an atom change direction during its fall and thus be able to hit other atoms and "create" energy and life. This new exploratory musical unit takes inspiration from Lucretius' theory to create melodies and soundscapes, to play with the inner and most special matter of the "sound" of each and all of the three members. Di Domenico's open compositions are integrated by Henriksen's and Yamamoto's extreme transparent approach to their instruments, making them breathe and have an extra-special quality.
