Owen McCabe (Montara) and Rafael Silveira (El Trio) come together through a shared interest in the more meditative, exploratory side of the jazz tradition. Drawing inspiration from the work of Ornette Coleman, Andrew Hill and Joe Henderson, their duo project explores the space between composition and improvisation, balancing moments of intensity and abstraction with a patient, considered approach to collective music-making.

Working within the stripped-back configuration of a duo, McCabe and Silveira have developed a sound that embraces openness, restraint and close musical interplay. Rather than treating their influences as a fixed framework, they use them as a starting point for exploration.

For this performance, the duo expands into a trio with the addition of Dinis Pinto (Oligosh) on drums. Pinto's arrival opens up new rhythmic possibilities, bringing another dimension to the group's interplay while retaining the spaciousness and attentiveness at the heart of the project. Together, the three musicians will explore the tension between structure and freedom, rhythm and stillness, seeking a collective sound that is at once meditative and spontaneous.
