The Colin Vallon Trio, named after the wind in the title track, imbues its music with an underlying, suggestive strength. From a quiet, tranquil beginning, the music can flow gently or steadily build tension until it unleashes explosive power. This poetic density and quiet persistence were already palpable on their ECM debut, "Rruga." Vallon now composes almost the entire program, while drummer Julian Sartorius, with his ethereal rhythms, contributes to a sense of connection and subtlety that takes precedence over soloistic elements. The melodies unfold leisurely, shared between Patrice Moret's bass and Vallon's piano. A novel, fresh group language is developed here, which is further expanded in the collective improvisations towards the end of the album. Manfred Eicher produced the work in 2013 at Rainbow Studio in Oslo.
