'Helix' is the debut album of Háromlábú and revolves around the constant spiral that shapes the album’s core. Háromlábú explores its extremes within a narrative that seeks balance between opposites: open/closed, wide/narrow, refined/raw, smooth/rough… Inspiration comes from various sources: Fly Trio, Mark Helias’ Open Loose, Thomas Strønen, Ben Sluijs, Olivier Messiaen, Erwin Schulhoff, Claude Debussy… but also from fascinations such as the rhythm of spoken language and the spatiality of sound.
Háromlábú consists of Adia Vanheerentals (saxophone), Adriaan Campo (double bass), and Juri Jansen (drums). A versatile improviser, a classical double bassist, and an architect come together to create music that unites them while intentionally pushing their boundaries. Somewhere at the intersection of their different worlds, a distinctive sound and unique identity emerge, unconstrained by genre.
The album was recorded in January 2024 by Koen Gisen at Studio La Patrie (Ghent) and mastered by Karel De Backer.
