About the album

Download/streaming  here

In the midst of three distinct and daring careers, Shawn Mativetsky, Amir Amiri, and Sarah Pagé have come together, forging a remarkable triad in which multiple musical traditions are recontextualized. Employing rhythmically imaginative tabla, a custom-built santur and processed concert harp, the group makes stirring music for emergent worlds. 

The group’s debut album, Metamorphose, is a striking collection of five pieces composed collectively. The title refers to the players' shared understanding of music as being in a state of constant change. In live performance, this sense of flow and connection is visceral: strings hammered and plucked, skins struck and thrumming, three incredible musicians communing around an ever-evolving sound. (https://mativetskyamiripage.com)

“You need to hear this record. It is a stunning collection of colours and textures that will leave you entranced from start to finish. The music is nimble, delicate, meditative, rippling and blossoming. To borrow a popular phrase, “turn off your mind, relax and float downstream.” – David Reed, The Intelligencer

“Every track is special and the album should be experienced in one uninterrupted sitting, with good headphones. I cannot overstate the beauty of this record.” – David Reed, The Intelligencer

“The interaction between harp and santur is captivating. The intricate arrangement of the title-track feels effortless, with striking melodies and shimmering supporting motifs traded skilfully between the instruments. The resonant pitch of the tabla anchors the explorations with a percussive low end.” – Liam Izod, Songlines reviews

“Metamorphose supplies mystery, history and mastery” – Liam Izod, Songlines reviews
