The trio Lauroshilau is a triumfeminate - as opposed to triumvirate - consisting of alto sax player Audrey Lauro, sound artist/pianist Pak Yan Lau, and drummer/percussionist Yuko Oshima. Together they explore highly personal strategies to free-improvisation, ranging from minimalist and electro-acoustic, ambient soundscapes to free-form bursts of energy. The trio was founded in 2013 during an improvisation project and has just released its third album (...)

Audrey Lauro has a wealth of experience in the Belgian experimental music scene, having played with illuminaries such as Marc Ribot, Peter Evans and Carlos Zingaro. Equally experienced Pak Yan Lau has shared music with wonderful musicians such as Chris Corsano, Akira Sakata and Mette Rasmussen. These gifted improvisers refuse to surrender to any established music form or convention, but follow their very own strong but enigmatic logic, simply letting the music happen.

During their performances the music negotiates patiently and slowly with silence, extended breathing techniques and other extended percussive techniques and subtle, mysterious sounds, often sketching tense cinematic narratives. It develops, shifts and morphs into an organic flow between quiet and contemplative segments and restless, disquieting ones, stressing highly attentive and conversational interplay, and with a strong focus on timbre and pure sound. The live setting, as well as the profound, mutual understanding of Lauro, Yan Lau and Oshima, promises that every sound seems inevitable and beautifully strange, and all these sounds accumulate into fascinating labyrinthine textures.
