The adventurous trio Chat Noir has for the past 12 years defied easy categorization with its organic mix of ambient music, electronic textures as well as chamber music and jazz.
Their singular approach to the piano trio, cinematic in scope and startlingly beautiful, has garnered critical raves throughout Europe (Elec3Cities)
On Nine Thoughts for One Word, their sixth recording overall and second for London-based RareNoise Records, the two founding members, pianist Michele Cavallari and bassist Luca Fogagnolo, are joined in their further explorations by electronic/ambient music composer and producer J.Peter Schwalm (Brian Eno, Eivind Aarset).
Together they make a conceptual leap on what a piano trio can be, with the invaluable input of Schwalm’s studio magic.
