FM Trio's first live performance was given in 2004, after two years of intense work together. Two years later the Trio was a well-established and consolidated formation, and it continued to focus on its repertoire of original compositions. During the same year it started to tour extensively throughout Switzerland and in other European countries as well: Austria, Germany, Sweden, Lichtenstein and Slovakia.
The new CD “ligne libre”, released by Altrisuoni, the Swiss jazz label, was recorded during a 2-day session at the Radio Studio Zurich by engineer Martin Pearson and producer Peter Bürli.
The new music of this CD is a further expression of the main characteristics of FM Trio's art: the fresh and mature interpretation of original compositions, that come out of the "compositive nowhere", and that arise from the momentary conceptual genius of the Trio.
With this album, FM Trio draws charm from the classic “piano trio” form. The ability to act collectively and to take risks are two essential elements of the music of these three young Swiss musicians.
With this album the Trio proves its commitment to servicing the true expressiveness in music, as opposed to the all-too-common self-indulgence of the majority of current line-ups.
