We are. Profoundly. Predisposed. To Drowning. (LP)/ Anne Efternøler with Maria Laurette Friis and Johanna Borchert

The music of this trio is an ongoing conversation between three women about life as it unfolds between artistic practise and daily routines. Compassionate conversations about being someones mother, someones daughter, someones partner, someones friend seamlessly float into the musical sphere, where words and emotions are transformed into pitches, harmonies, rhythms and artistic gestures.

Three strong artists from the creative music scene of northern Europe have formed a trio that feeds from the compassionate relationship between its members.

Danish Anne Efternøler is a desired trumpet player on the Scandinavian scene, while German Johanna Borcherts distinct approach to the prepared piano has given her a prominent place among the heaviest piano players of her generation. For more than 25 years vocalist and multiinstrumentalist Maria Laurette Friis has been pushing the musical borders, leaving a remarkable contribution to the field of abstract music.
