Tse, a collaboration between Cyril Bondi, Pierre-Yves Martel, and Christoph Schiller, offers five tracks of immersive, slow-burning chamber music at the intersection of composition and improvisation. Using harmonium, viola da gamba, and prepared spinet, the trio develops an original timbral palette - drones, delicate chord changes, and subtle percussive textures unfold through extended forms. Rather than relying on conventional melody or virtuosic gesture, Bondi, Martel, and Schiller favor process and patience, focusing their energies on gradual transformation and collective intimacy.​

Each piece traces a journey through nuanced environments of breath, vibration, and resonance. Sound moves quietly yet purposefully, with microtonal movements and gentle shifts among chords. Silence, too, is given space to participate, and the way in which tones merge and dissipate recalls both early minimalism and the spectral music tradition. The result is meditative yet unsettled - music that invites deep listening and rewards sensitivity to sonic nuance.

tse stands out for its balance of restraint and warmth. The trio’s rare rapport, honed through years of collaboration, yields a music that is gently melancholic but open, textured and alive to the smallest inflections of sound. In its patient unfolding, tse becomes a shared environment for listener and performer alike - a landscape where duration, harmony, and quiet transformation reshape the experience of time and perception.​​
