Ida Alanen’s compositions draw inspiration from the borderland between sleep and wakefulness, inviting images from the subconscious into broad daylight. The trio alternates effortlessly between carefully orchestrated compositions and the freedom of improvisation. As a pianist Ida has an exceptional sensitivity to melody and simplistic beauty, and her compositions are filled with colourful details and a rich harmonic palette. The duality of the two worlds, the dreamworld and realistic world, the conscious and the subconscious remains the main theme of the trio’s debut album Awake Asleep.
