Even though, the music is based on avant-garde jazz, free improvisation and various styles of experimental jazz, it also has some elements from modern and contemporary jazz styles, experimental music, academic avant-garde and contemporary academical music.

Reeds melodies bring bright, joyful, vivacious and expressive sound to the compositions. Matthias Boss violin improvisations are based on free improvisation, but also have some relations with academical music. Free and abstract form, colorful musical pattern, dynamic rhythmic, sharp harmony – all these elements are very important in the compositions of this improviser.

He fuses together hiw own ways of playing, specific and experimental playing techniques with usual and very well-known methods of playing. The marvelous synthesis of all these elements makes an effort to colorful, effective and expressive sound. Alen Grassi acoustic bass improvisations are subtle and silent for the most of the time. Deep and dark bass line, repetitive and monotonic tunes, calm and peaceful melodies – these elements suddenly grow to the culminations: bright, passionate, effective and powerful solos with marvelous passages, interesting timbres and special effects. The music is contrasting and dynamic, has many different sides and colors. Musical experiments, intense melodies and brilliant solos arfe the most effective episodes of his improvisations.
