Una famiglia spezzata. Una lettera perduta. Un segreto che potrebbe cambiare tutto. È la vigilia di Natale e Murtagh Moone si prepara a festeggiare con i suoi quattro figli. All'appello manca solo Maeve, la moglie, però lui non è preoccupato: sa che a volte Maeve si sente soffocare e ha bisogno di allontanarsi da tutto e da tutti. Presto tornerà, seguendo la luce che Murtagh lascia sempre accesa sul portico per lei. Tuttavia il tempo passa e Maeve non arriva. Ore dopo, il mare restituisce il suo corpo. E la famiglia si ritrova di colpo a cercare invano una spiegazione… Sono passati dieci anni da allora, eppure i Moone non si sono mai ripresi. I figli sono partiti, lasciando Murtagh da solo sulla piccola isola di Inis Óg, dove lavora come vasaio..

In early 2020, the world was struck by the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, NZTrio began its new era with the appointment of pianist Somi Kim and violinist Amalia Hall joining cellist Ashley Brown in continuing the 19-year legacy of commissioning works from NZ composers, bringing lesser-known works to light, and celebrating the widely-known jewels of the piano trio repertoire with fresh interpretation.

For the third installment of Ingrid Laubrock's duo series on Intakt (following Kasumi with Aki Takase and Blood Moon with Kris Davis) Ingrid Laubrock and Andy Milne develop their own sounds in a common sound world. Fragile is characterized by the great empathy that unites these two artists. The music, which is both stirring and soothing, confident and intuitive, is deeply expressive and inventive. “Laubrock’s growth as an original writer and improviser has been marked in the last two decades, during which time she has led several bands, notably Sleepthief and Anti-House, and proved adept at creating for large ensembles and small groups that revealed her own individuality, mostly within avant-garde traditions. As for Milne he has more than fulfilled the promise he showed as a member of Steve Coleman’s Metrics in the early ‘90s. The Laubrock-Milne duo has a balance between the drive and momentum of large ensembles and the stillness and engagement with silence and space of smaller groups. Making music that releases a form of energy, something that pulses with life, while also drawing down into intimacy, suggesting feelings of tenderness or uncertainty, is no mean feat”, writes Kevin Le Gendre in the liner notes.
