Following Tony Conrad’s concept of maximalism in minimal music, TRIALOGOS’ widescreen
super 8 soundscapes and occasional haunted house vocals conjure up visions of winter
lost beaches, bats dancing upside down and sojourns in permanent dawn.

“What we hear in these “trialogues” is one word sounding through the other. Like in a doubly exposed photograph, the individual elements become both more ethereal and more defined. They touch and blend, align and dissociate at the same time and take on the remarkable capacity of ghosts: the ability to inhabit one another, one voice speaking through the other.”
(Kiki Bohemia, Berlin, March 2021)

“The friend of the hermit is always the third one: the third one is the float which prevents the conversation of the two from sinking into the depth”
Friedrich Nietzsche, from:  Thus spoke Zarathustra

“We three / We’re all alone / Living in a memory / My echo / My shadow / And me / We three / We’re not a crowd / We’re not even company / My echo / My shadow / And me”
The Ink Spots, from: We Three (my echo, my shadow and me)
