The recording session took place shortly after the tour to Ukraine, during which the trio played concert in Lviv during the Ukrainian Orange Revolution. Not surprisingly, this historical event became the main driver for the recordings, its main inspiration, as well as an idea for the disc title.

About:
Kilogram Records is well known for releasing the albums recorded in a different settings then "conventional" recording studio. The goal is to capture improvised music and jazz in its natural acoustic space. Prior release from Kilogram's catalog are examples of this approach: "La skech up" was carried out in the theater building in Kalisz, "Danzinger Strassenmuzik" recorded directly on the street, "Noc" was fully realized in private apartment of Paul Wirkus in Cologne.
This time the trio of new material by Trzaska / Friis / Uuskyla was registered in Sopot, in Maciek Cieslak analog studio. The recording session took place shortly after the tour to Ukraine, during which the trio played concert in Lviv during the Ukrainian Orange Revolution. Not surprisingly, this historical event became the main driver for the recordings, its main inspiration, as well as an idea for the disc title.
