The Berlin-based improvising wind trio Trigger was formed in 2009 and works on
creating a unitary sound of discrete sonic layers. Through the use of
multiphonics, circular breathing, and other extended techniques, Trigger forges
a music of gradual depth with sudden shifts in texture and mood. The current
direction of the trio is a music of long continous masses of sound.
