TLF Trio live på Nørrebro Teater

TLF Trio er et eksperimenterende ensemble bestående af cellist Cæcilie Trier, pianist Jakob Littauer og guitarist MK Velsorf. Sammen skaber de instrumental musik, som bevæger sig mellem komposition, improvisation, sampling og elektroniske beats, hvori de blander elementer fra minimalisme, europæisk klassisk kammermusik, pop og house-musik. Resultatet er en legende og dekonstrueret kammermusik, som er mere skulpturel end narrativ og som skifter mellem at være et objekt i rummet til at være rummet selv.

Trioen udgav deres kritikerroste debutalbum Sweet Harmony på det franske elektroniske og eksperimentelle pladeselskab Latency i 2022, og efterfølgende EP’en New Songs & Variations i 2023 i samarbejde med den tyske technopioner Moritz von Oswald.

De har optrådt på førende kunstinstitutioner og scener for eksperimentel musik over hele Europa og USA, blandt andre Berlin Atonal, Rewire Festival i Haag, Tanzquartier Vienna og senest New Theater Hollywood i Los Angeles. De kan kan nu opleves for første gang i København siden 2021, hvor de vil præsentere nyt materiale fra deres kommende album, som er sat til at udkomme i starten af september, samt udvalgte hits fra deres katalog.

Cæcilie Trier er musiker med base i København og er kendt for sine udgivelser som CTM (Suite for a Young Girl, Tambourhinoceros, 2016; Red Dragon og Babygirl, Posh Isolation, 2018, 2022; Vind, 15 Love, 2023).

Jakob Littauer er musiker med base i Berlin og er kendt for sine udgivelser som Yangze (Event Horizon, Escho, 2019) samt sit arbejde som sangskriver og producer for kunstnere som Liss, Varnrable og MØ.

MK Velsorf er musiker og kunstner med base i Los Angeles. Han er musikalsk leder på New Theater Hollywood og hyppig samarbejdspartner med kunstnerne Calla Henkel og Max Pitegoff, for hvem han har komponeret musikken til filmserierne Paradise (2022) og THEATER (2024). Han udgav for nylig albummet MK Velsorf & Aase Nielsen: Opening Night på det Los Angeles-baserede pladeselskab Awe.

ENGLISH

TLF Trio is an experimental music ensemble consisting of cellist Cæcilie Trier, pianist Jakob Littauer and guitarist M. K. Frøslev. Together, they create instrumental music that moves between composition, improvisation, sampling, and electronic beats – blending elements of minimalism, European classical chamber music, pop, and house. The result is a playful and deconstructed form of chamber music, more sculptural than narrative, shifting between being an object in the space and becoming the space itself.

The trio released their critically acclaimed debut album Sweet Harmony on the French electronic and experimental label Latency in 2022, followed by the EP New Songs & Variations in 2023, in collaboration with German techno pioneer Moritz von Oswald.

They have performed at leading art institutions and experimental music venues across Europe and the US, including Berlin Atonal, Rewire Festival in The Hague, Tanzquartier Vienna, and most recently New Theater Hollywood in Los Angeles. Now they can be experienced in Copenhagen for the first time since 2021, where they will present new material from their upcoming album, set to be released in early September, alongside selected highlights from their catalogue.
