FAINT is a project that explores two extremes of musical practice: free improvisation and composition for fixed medium. The trio formation with pianist/composer Pedro Rebelo, percussionist/composer Steve Davis and saxophonist Franziska Schroeder was born out of an impromptu encounter of the three musicians at the Sonic Arts Research Centre in Belfast, Northern Ireland. This double CD presents improvised recordings together with 19 short electroacoustic pieces by Pedro Rebelo which are exclusively based on these recordings.
