Post Description

The Hamburg-based Tingvall Trio, comprised of Martin Tingvall (piano), Omar Rodriguez Calvo (double bass), 
and Jürgen Spiegel (drums) present Cirklar, an album that reflects on life and the passing of time.

Three years after the successful CD entitled "Beat", listeners' long-awaited long-player "Cirklar" is released in july this year. 
However the songs may sound as Martin Tingvall pens them - certainty doesn't emerge until the end of the day 
when Omar Rodriguez Calvo and Jürgen Spiegel join him in approaching a new composition. 
Each piece a struggle, a game, a drama that revolves in circles ("Cirklar") until it's 'done'. 
The guiding lines: the stories that life presents us with and the very personal, very different perception 
of what has been experienced, depending on the person's phase in life. 
One of the pieces on the new album is called "Bumerang".  A song that begins with mighty drumbeats and drives ahead, followed by 
a musical phrase repeatedly 'cast' toward the listener like to surf against the shore before finally vanishing. Playing with no end, 
music going full circuit. "Sometimes the contradictions in perceiving time seem so strange to me", Tingvall establishes. 
"My parent’s generation is getting old now. Their clocks tick to a completely different rhythm. In contrast to my hectic everday life, 
to me it's like it's almost unreal." A perception found in the ballad "Evighetsmaskinen" ('Eternity Machine'). 
Not at all typical of the trio, a song comprised of nearly meditative sounds and rhythms that appears to lead straight into eternity. 
As for "Karusellen", "Det Gröna Hotellet" and "Skansk Blues", despite the many spots on this album where the trio's new sounds 
are going to surprise listeners: when push comes to shove, distinctively Tingvall.

"Cirklar" might turn out to be the musically most diversified album to date. Martin Tingvall comments on the new compositions:
"The songs always kick things off for us. With this album I've tried to compose in a way that points out new directions to us. 
We're testing new forms of expression, but at the same time we naturally want to be recognized as the Tingvall Trio. 
This time the music is clearly the boss, not the trio."
