[working title]

[working title] is a drum-led piano trio, featuring the playful and eccentric compositions of german-born, london/new delhi-based, drummer david soin tappeser.

interweaving snippets from his extensive travels - hip-hop-grooves with ethiopian harmonies, folk tunes with bhangra or bebop with reggaeton - the trio’s sound emanates beyond genre or cultural specificity, infinite, indefinite and open to interpretation.

embracing the intimacy and flexibility of the traditional piano trio format, the group’s game is highly interactive, collaborative and - above all - improvisation-driven.

[working title] is nomadic. after appearances in india, france, the u.k. and mexico in 2019, it’ll next pitch its tent back in india in early spring 2019, featuring mexican pianist gustavo mezo and british upright bass player theo malka-wishart.

the release of their first album is planned for the summer 2020.
