«Under the media hype-fueled turmoil, in deeper underground zones lives a multitude of organisms, which discreetly threads its way seeking the opportunity to call our attention. Such is the case of the Croatian collective TrianguliZona. Ivan Kapec (electric guitar and electronics), Andrej Jakuš (trumpet, flugelhorn and electronics), Janko Novoselić (drums) and Vladimir Končar (video), have been working in the confluence of different languages in modern music, a complex reality which, pointing at several directions, blurs the borders between genres and styles. From electro-jazz with distant references to 70’s electric Miles Davis, to ambient-flavored experimentalism, to Steve Reich’s minimalism, going through dub and loop techniques, all framed with a live improvisation setting, there are recognizable signs in the music of TrianguliZona. This blend results in a homogenous sound, with an experimental flavor. Instant composition as a result of the sound-image interaction, in which sound and vision acquires a special place in live performances. The main impression is jazz-fusion, based on progressive electric guitar, trumpet with pedal and electronic effects, and this mighty groove, balanced with creativity and good taste. Melodic and hypnotic, delicate and subtle, the TrianguliZona sound is likely to become the soundtrack to that special road trip. It grabs us, sooner or later.» - Eduardo Chagas

Reviews:
«Quand le jazz se mêle aux sonorités électroniques, ça donne souvent des choses très intéressantes comme on pu le constater par le passé avec les albums de Bugge Wesseltoft, Nils Petter Molvaer ou encore Erik Truffaz, trois des plus dignes représentants de cette vague musicale qui a éclaté à la fin des années 90. En 2008, le collectif croate TrianguliZona contribue lui aussi à faire connaitre le genre grâce à jazz tranquille, composé à partir de guitare, de trompette, de batterie et de sonorités électroniques dans un ensemble aux ambiances nocturnes qui ne sont pas sans évoquer aussi certains travaux de Miles Davis.
En tout cas un chouette album, très accessible qui confirme que le jazz a bel et bien sa place dans la sphère netlabel.»

«Well, this is netmusic? Really, since I am also a jazz lover I really like that one. It’s got the potential to grow into my favourite releases of 2008.»

«Electrified Jazz | The songs of TrianguliZona drift somewhere inbetween electro-jazz, distant references to 70’s electric Miles Davis to ambient-flavored experimentalism. The Croatian collective is hard to catch, hard to define. Sometimes you here beautiful melodies, than you listen to the carefully played drums, than you refind yourself in some sort of experimental jazz-ambient-soundscapes. Definitely a magnetic adventure from Portuguese netlabel test tube.
You rarely discover jazz in the free music world. And often if you download a release which proclaims “Hey, I am Jazz!” the glamour fades away quickly. But with the jazz-trio TrianguliZona it’s totally different. The three musicians know how to play their instruments. Ivan Kapec (electric guitar and electronics), Andrej Jakuš (trumpet, flugelhorn and electronics) and Janko Novoselić (drums).
Their music is vivid, sometimes hard to catch in the first moment but always on point. Along with effects from dub to sampled loops TrianguliZona produce music in the tradition of modern jazzers like Bugge Wesseltoft or Nils Petter Molvaer. Enjoy this complex and live improvisations with progressive electric guitar, trumpet with pedal and electronic effects. Catch that groove!
And, some last words… TrianguliZona is a four-headed project because they have also a visualist called Vladimir Končar. He combines the music with his own videos. Just have a look on the artist-website and check out these videos: vlak, oblaci and radnici.»
