“The Playful Abstract, could be a soundtrack to the air we breathe. Repeated listens to this tranquil, ever-shifting and sometimes transcendent record also invoke an association with the Japanese term, Ukiyo (浮世), meaning the “floating world”. Originally associated with Buddhism, where the term also denoted the sorrowful, or transient earthly plane from which its adherents sought release, ukiyo came to describe the sometimes seamy urban lifestyle and culture of Edo period Japan (1600–1867). Nowadays ukiyo is seen as a state of mind emphasising living in the moment, detached from the difficulties of life.
‘We chose a completely different creative process to the last album, LOOM, where we only played compositions. With the new record, we improvised a lot, selected sketches from these workouts and developed them further in rehearsals. In the studio, we started the process again from scratch, and improvised a lot of material directly, and developed the compositions directly from that.’
The Playful Abstract, is KALI Trio’s third release on the label Ronin Rhythm Records.”
