Trio of Uncertainty brings together Satoko Fukuda (violin), Hannah Marshall (cello), and Veryan Weston (piano) in a studio recording that blurs the boundaries between composed chamber music and free improvisation. Recorded in 2007 at Pinewood near London, these ten pieces (totaling just over an hour) reveal an ensemble whose intuitive interplay and structural awareness often sound as if the music were pre-written — yet it is entirely created in the moment. Melodic lines, harmonic shifts, counterpoint, and rhythmic interplay unfold with startling cohesion, showcasing the trio’s classical training and improvisational fearlessness. From delicate passages of lyricism to fiery outbursts of texture, the music balances form and freedom with clarity and invention. This album is a striking example of contemporary improvised chamber music, capturing the trio’s ability to conjure pieces of depth, surprise, and coherence out of pure spontaneity.
