A performance by Twitching Eye Trio, founded in 2007, is a feast for the eyes and an experience for the ears. With the utmost sensitivity to detail, the percussionists Achim Heine, Jasper Goedman and Marijn Korff de Gidts combine their knowledge of contemporary music with rhythms and sounds from African, Turkisch, Indian and Afro-Cuban origins. The result is an entirely individual musical world in which abstract structures and warm-blooded dance rhythms reach out to and influence each other.
With interwoven rhythmic patterns, the trio paves a path to the most divergent sound qualities, from muted to pulsating, complex to transparent. And there’s no end in sight, for the trio have sufficient rich musical experiences to share with one another for later productions.
