Three singular voices in contemporary music come together for a recording that moves beyond genre, structure, and expectation. Triacontagon, the collaboration between saxophonist Ivo Perelman, multi-instrumentalist Elliott Sharp, and percussionist Cyro Baptista, is an immersive exploration of layered sound worlds, ritual energy, and spontaneous composition.

Named after the 30-sided geometric figure, Triacontagon reflects the album’s constantly shifting musical dimensions - fractured yet interconnected, abstract yet deeply physical, intellectual yet instinctive. Across six expansive pieces, the trio constructs a living sonic architecture where free improvisation collides with electro-acoustic textures, rhythmic mutations, and hallucinatory atmospheres.

The album’s titles evoke mysterious landscapes, sacred symbolism, tropical visions, and unstable geometries - portals into music that feels simultaneously ancient and futuristic. From the ecstatic pulse of “Electric Bacchanalia” to the dreamlike intensity of “Sacred Geometry of the Tropics,” each composition unfolds like an unpredictable ritual, balancing density and space, tension and release.

1. Dionysus in the Amazon [11:26]
2. Sacred Geometry of the Tropics [14:17]
3. Inside a Broken Circle [10:26]
4. Electric Bacchanalia [11:41]
5. Irregular Forms in Humid Space [13:17]
6. Disordered Continuum [06:05]

Embracing multiplicity: overlapping musical identities, unstable forms, and evolving emotional states, this simply magnificent new recording opens on the playfully alert, yet at times furtively abstract Dionysus in the Amazon and then we are lovingly brought forth a foreboding, yet mesmerizing growth within Sacred Geometry of the Tropics, the electronically skewed, yet melodiously cultured Inside a Broken Circle and the grittier Electric Bacchanalia, the new set rounding out on the fluttering, at times spatially esoteric Irregular Forms in Humid Space, coming to a close on the rambunctiously crafted, electrifyingly jagged, yet souled out Disordered Continuum.

Across six expansive pieces, the trio constructs a living sonic architecture where free improvisation collides with electro-acoustic textures, rhythmic mutations, and hallucinatory atmospheres.
