Salenta + Topu
Patient, explorative and dynamic. Solely with their two instruments - piano and cello - Salenta and Topu make wistful and contemplative music that evokes vignettes of home, falling asleep with someone you love, learning to soothe yourself. The keys tiptoe through space at some moments, and pirouette ecstatically at others. The cello provides a sonic backbone that glows like amber. When the two met, and decided to start jamming together, their connection was instant: both artists envision music as healing and hope that listeners feel the peacefulness and liberation they experience while playing it.
For this live experience, Salenta will be joined by Norway-based (by way of New York), free improviser, double bassist and vocalist, Jordan Sand. Sand will be playing in place of Topu to honor the conversation between piano voice and strings.
