Roots of 1960’s avant-garde jazz are gently combined with the newest tendencies and innovations of contemporary experimental music, funk, soft intonations of rock styles, modern jazz styles, cool, progressive, fusion and other contemporary jazz styles. This wide synthesis of styles helps musicians to create multi-colorful, universal and bright musical pattern. The musicians are main figures of international jazz scene – they had been improvising together with dozens of impressive and great jazz masters. Each of them is known as innovative improviser, who combines together expression, precise playing technique, emotional, suggestive and hot playing manner and sounds experiments. All together the musicians create bright, intense and evocative sound.

Peter Gabriel is the second solo album by English singer-songwriter Peter Gabriel, released in 1978. The album is the second of four with the same title. It was produced by guitarist Robert Fripp, whose influence is evident in the use of 'Frippertronics' on the track "Exposure".

In one of the most striking debuts of recent years, Jo David Meyer Lysne’s ‘Henger i Luften’ (literally, ‘Hang in the Air’), magically combines the conversational fluency of contemporary chamber music with the extended sound-making techniques and alertness to the moment associated with experimental improvisation.

The Flute and Strings Trio Led by violinist/composer Szilárd Mezei, was originally assembled in 2005 in Novi Sad, Serbia - the pure textures of viola, flute and acoustic guitar proving to be an enchanting combination. Music of the trio moves from a completely free improvisation over dramaturgical compositional techniques to a fully-written compositions. These compositions are mostly written with aleatoric technique, and despite the fact that it is a composition, due to the aleatory sonority is very close to improvised music, but with a clearer melodic, rhythmic and harmonic terms, as in a completely improvised music. In addition to the collective playing, solos and duets play a big role in the program of the trio.
