Malnoia / Jorn Swart - Hello Future (March 2021)

Malnoia, an unorthodox trio led by pianist Jorn Swart that mixes jazz and chamber music, is presenting their new album “Hello Future”.

Drawing on science-fiction film and literature, each track is accompanied by an original short story. Through colorful compositions, emotive improvisations, and the unique combination of piano, viola, and bass clarinet, the album explores what it means to be human in a technological age.
