Three singular voices in contemporary music come together for a recording that moves beyond genre, structure, and expectation. Triacontagon, the collaboration between saxophonist Ivo Perelman, multi-instrumentalist Elliott Sharp, and percussionist Cyro Baptista, is an immersive exploration of layered sound worlds, ritual energy, and spontaneous composition.
Named after the 30-sided geometric figure, Triacontagon reflects the album’s constantly shifting musical dimensions - fractured yet interconnected, abstract yet deeply physical, intellectual yet instinctive. Across six expansive pieces, the trio constructs a living sonic architecture where free improvisation collides with electro-acoustic textures, rhythmic mutations, and hallucinatory atmospheres.
The album’s titles evoke mysterious landscapes, sacred symbolism, tropical visions, and unstable geometries - portals into music that feels simultaneously ancient and futuristic. From the ecstatic pulse of “Electric Bacchanalia” to the dreamlike intensity of “Sacred Geometry of the Tropics,” each composition unfolds like an unpredictable ritual, balancing density and space, tension and release.
Ivo Perelman’s unmistakable tenor saxophone voice moves between lyrical abstraction and volcanic expression. Elliott Sharp expands the sonic field with guitar manipulations, and textural interventions that constantly reshape the music’s direction. Cyro Baptista brings a deeply organic rhythmic language, transforming percussion into a fluid and theatrical force.
Rather than presenting fixed compositions, Triacontagon embraces multiplicity: overlapping musical identities, unstable forms, and evolving emotional states. The result is an album that invites listeners to enter a labyrinth of sound - immersive, mysterious, and radically alive.
