Nyala

“Nyala is a trio consisting of Pau Li Liem, Stef Joosten and Jorrit Romme. Just as the name describes (‘Nyala’ is the Indonesian word for “flame”), their music is ever-changing and in motion. It can be smoldering, intense and low in dynamics but it has the ability to grow into fiery improvisations and compositions. Inspired by the unpredictable characteristics of a flame, they strive to find new sounds and explore new ways to interpret their own compositions. The starting point may be an established composition, a pattern or a text but as they begin to play it will evolve into a new impression of the piece. They are not bound to any genre or style but play with an open mind and full of creativity.”
