DESCRIPTION:
Triosk is an instrumental trio based in Sydney, Australia. Their music melds their jazz background (the three met at Sydney's Conservatorium of Music) with post-rock and ambient electronica, resulting in a strange, beautiful conglomeration of myriad influences. The group's members - Adrian Klumpes, Ben 'Donny' Waples, and Laurence Pike, on piano/keyboard/samples, electric/acoustic bass and drums/percussion respectively - also make extensive use of samples and processing in both studio and live shows.
The group formed in 2001, with their first release - a collaboration with German experimental electronica artist Jan Jelinek called 1+3+1 - being released on the ~Scape label in November of 2003. From leftover studio time for that session came the group's first album distinct from any involvement with Jelinek, called Moment Returns, released on the Leaf Label in October of 2004. The group's current release is called The Headlight Serenade, released June 2006, also on the Leaf Label. It is a more 'produced' effort, with more of an emphasis on experimentation and textural exploration.
When not playing in Triosk, the group's members are busy with other projects. Laurence has recently released a solo percussion 10" record on the Monika Enterprise label. Adrian is preparing for the release of his solo album on Leaf, scheduled for October 2006. Both Laurence and Adrian play in another Sydney outfit, the decidedly more post-rock Pivot, while Donny teaches music and plays with many prominent musicians on the Sydney jazz circuit.
