In 2012 Trigg (Bart Knol) started a cooperation with Erik van Geer (Gusset). Together they made the album "Legacy of the Witty" which was released on Preserved Sound. The album contains of 10 slow-jazz/doomjazz tracks with dark electronic sounds and lush melodies played by Erik on tenor-saxophone and bass-clarinet.
Live they create a combination of electronic loops with improvised solo's on piano, fender rhodes, sax and clarinet.

Trigg started creating music somewhere in de nineties. His first solo-album ‘Outside Vision’ was released early 2007 under the name Velvet Overdrive. This was also his first record without any constraints regarding style or composition. This resulted in a mix of electronica, triphop, postrock and nu-jazz.

In 2011 Trigg released the cinematic album 'Beige' on Human Workshop and the amospheric 'Soil' on Clinical Archives

Music is made by vibrating solids.
Solids are made from planes.
Planes are made from lines.
Lines are made from points.
And a point is none.
It is very mysterious.

'Life is a mystery to be lived, not a problem to be solved.'  Kierkegaard 

Beautiful You are made of beautiful music.

Peace !!
