Hippo Road

The Paper Trio was created when Thomas was asked to play a concert at a Paper Museum/Gallery in the countryside of Denmark. Luck had it that Randi and I became the other two musicians in the band.

But the gig had its caveats—we could only get paid if we used actual paper to make our sounds.

So we all scrambled to find interesting types of paper in the studio there and briefly practiced incorporating these sounds into our normal trio world. Lo and behold, it worked! The public loved the paper sounds, and the Paper Trio was born.

After that concert, we were inspired to take this trio into the studio and capture these sounds, and more. You can hear the recorded sounds of paper stamping machines and other paper fabrication machines being used.

Each piece was introduced in the studio simply with a mood or title, and then we started to play.

We hope you enjoy this effort as much as we have enjoyed making it.
