PENDULUM TRIO:Benoît Delbecq (piano)
Jonas Westergaard (bass)
Peter Bruun (drums)
Bringing together three of the most distinctive voices in contemporary jazz, this trio was formed in 2024 by drummer Peter Bruun as part of his ambitious research project exploring new approaches to musical time. Over the course of 2024 and 2025, Bruun has convened six different ensembles, each producing a constellation of music shaped by the principle of avoiding rigid structures, allowing instead for balance, elegance and fluidity.
In this formation the musicians may use pendulums placed on stage — a simple but radical gesture suggested by pianist Benoit Delbecq. These moving weights create a shifting sense of pulse that provides both players and listeners with a new elasticity of time, inviting them into the groove as one might enter a dance. The result of the whole project is a liberating framework for improvisation, a fresh space for interaction within the classic piano–bass–drums trio format.
Delbecq, bassist Jonas Westergaard and Bruun treat music less as a straight line than as a shared field of presence. Trusting in both improvisation and compositional fragments, may they be leaning on scores or graphics, they draw on fleeting harmonies, resonances and points of convergence to craft soundscapes with their own gravity — music that breathes, sways and creates new kinds of beats.
