ERAAS is a tribal atmospheric quartet based in Brooklyn led by it's two founding members Robert Toher and Austin Stawiarz which arose from the ashes of New England-based project Apse in 2011, forming with the desire to create more ritualistic and darker themes. Live, the band, generally as a four-piece, elicit foreboding, cautionary themes, mixing driving percussion, Krautrock basslines tangled with hypnotic guitars and ethereal vocals. ERAAS decided to retreat to an area steeped in history and it's own distinct atmosphere - all deserted hill towns and melancholy beauty - to make this record. The decision paid rich creative dividends - this is an album that's heavy with both an ominous mood & a certain orchestral grandeur.

Triotonic have set off to brush up the classical trio of piano, drums and bass. The well-tried constellation of these instruments functions as the basis for the artists´ very personal and emotional music style. Their extraordinary compositions have turned Triotonic into an integral part of the Austrian jazz scene in no time. Triotonic see themselves as a real working band. The line-up - consisting of Volkhard Iglseder, Horst Sandy Sonntagbauer and Bernhard Wittgruber - has not changed since 1999. Together they compose and arrange, they harmonize both on as well as off the stage. All these different aspects together are responsible for the exceptional charismatic sound of their music.
