Our Take

At first listen, RISSANEN / VERHEYEN / OUNASKARI's new album "Aleatoric" might seem like a chaotic mess of improvised jazz fusion. But upon closer inspection, this eccentric trio has created a masterpiece of avant-garde experimentation that will leave you scratching your head in awe.

The interplay between Rissanen's frenetic piano, Verheyen's dynamic bass, and Ounaskari's intricate drumming is nothing short of mesmerizing.

Tracks like "Random Rhythm" and "Chaos Theory" showcase the trio's ability to seamlessly blend dissonance and harmony, creating a sound that is both unsettling and captivating. Each member brings a unique energy to the table, resulting in a sonic experience that is as exhilarating as it is perplexing.

Despite its unconventional nature, "Aleatoric" manages to maintain a sense of cohesion that keeps the listener engaged from start to finish. Whether you're a jazz aficionado or simply a fan of the unexpected, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression.
