"The trajectory of Eduard Altaba, Adele Madau and Marc Egea in the field of improvisation is long, collaborating with people like John Zorn, Paolo Fresu, Butch Morris, Tim Hodgkinson... Egea is a renowned innovator of the hurdy gurdy, Madau explores the possibilities of the electrified violin and Altaba possesses a wide expressive repertoire with the double bass. Classical contemporaneous music, lyrical, mysterious and magical, they had an instantaneous connection and an intense communication between them. If you didn’t see them the first time don’t miss this perhaps unrepeatable opportunity." LEM 2013.
