Tricot Trio

Once upon a time, it was yesternow, Olivier Moreau (Imminent) and Gabriel Séverin (Silk Saw) met Carmen Cardona, a young percussion player born in Belo Horizonte to a Cuban mother. "Neu Optimism" is the encounter between incredible, strange rhythms from Brazil and new directions from old Europe. The technical skills of Moreau, combined with the analog touch of dusty synthesizers from Séverin's own museum, were just missing spontaneity -- that's where Cardona came into the game.
