About
TRIO HLK IS THE UNION OF THREE DISTINCT, FORWARD THINKING MUSICAL PERSONALITIES.
They are delighted to return to their London home for the first time in a few years. They are performing some new pieces (which, if you’ve ever heard them you’ll know is a big deal due to the sheer detail in the music!).
Drum virtuoso Rich Kass is a powerful, polyrhythmic engine whose multi-limbic facility affords him a wealth of textures and multiple layers of expression; he executes rhythms at more than one tempo simultaneously, which often draws comparison to electronica and computer generated music.
Guitarist Ant Law plays a bespoke extended range electric guitar with 8 strings and a variety of effects; a wealth of influences from jazz, heavy metal and elsewhere shine through in his playing.
Classical pianist and composer Rich Harrold was immersed in contemporary classical music from a young age; his approach encompasses recomposition and decomposition as much as pure composition itself. His harmonic realm is the border between tonality and atonality, and there is a strong sense of rhythmic and melodic development throughout his writing.
A belief in the high art of improvisation and intrigue with the infinite art and science of rhythm is what brings H, L and K together.
