“One of the most exciting piano trios to emerge in the last few years; grabs listeners by the neck, with an explosion of jagged, gut-punching beats. There is something fearless in the group’s rhythmic posture and physicality. In particular there is a breathless, hard-hitting aggression that borrows some of its precise articulation and metric complexity from prog-rock, but even at its most punishing this trio maintains a buoyant vigour and sense of pure glee.” (Peter Margasak/Berliner Festspiele). Karja/Renard/Wandinger focuses on experimental improvised music. They started playing together in 2019 and in summer 2022 they released their dynamic debut album, “The Wrong Needle”.
