The songs included on this album are entirely original, stereotype-breaking material developed jointly by both performers. The combination of jazz and electric guitar with a baroque harpsichord, as well as occasionally a clavichord and percussion instruments, sounds fresh and original. The use of electronic effects, preparation and amplification of the harpsichord, as well as the enrichment of the performance means with percussion techniques make each composition surprising with its dynamic and expressive scale, despite the modest instrumentation. The combination of elements of contemporary classical avant-garde, jazz and Latin music is the basis for extensive improvisations. Both artists are virtuosos of their instruments, who prove once again that they do not set any limits for them in the creative process, musicians are able to create completely new sounds. However, they are not the goal in themselves, the essence is the music itself - energetic, trance-like, and sometimes nostalgic, which will seduce not only jazz lovers.
