ALGOL is a new electroacoustic trio formed by Christian Lillinger (Germany), Elias Stemeseder (Austria), and Camilo Ángeles (Peru). The project was born during a collaborative tour and recording sessions in early 2024, between Mexico City and Guadalajara, and has since expanded with performances across various cities in Europe and Latin America. Conceived as an open system of real-time sonic construction, ALGOL operates at the intersection of composition, improvisation, and electroacoustic experimentation. Its music articulates a language that integrates percussion, piano, flute, and synthesizers. Each member contributes a distinct universe: Lillinger, German drummer and producer, is renowned for his highly structured rhythmic approach and his ability to reformulate the tradition of contemporary European jazz. Stemeseder, Austrian composer and performer, explores the intersections between the acoustic and the digital, moving between piano, spinet, and synthesizers. Ángeles, Peruvian flutist and composer, redefines his instrument through extended techniques, self-built aerophones, and a microtonal sensibility that expands the boundaries of performance. Recorded at Estudios Noviembre (Mexico City) and finalized between Switzerland and Berlin, ALGOL's debut album employs electronic processes that extend the timbre of acoustic instruments. Structures emerge and dissolve within a continuum that challenges stylistic categories. Like the stellar system that inspires its name, ALGOL is a constellation in motion. Its music balances density and transparency, writing and indeterminacy, tradition and rupture. In that point of equilibrium, its true nature is revealed. ALGOL's debut album is released by Buh Records, in digital format and as a limited vinyl edition. Mixed by Michael Brändli at Hard Studios (Winterthur, Switzerland) and mastered by Christian Lillinger at Plaist (Berlin, Germany). Artwork and design by Muriel Holguín. Gatefold sleeve.
