Trifecta, a new addition to the Kscope roster, features 3 of the contemporary music scene's most lauded and revered musicians - bassist and songwriter Nick Beggs, keyboardist extraordinaire Adam Holzman and completing the line-up, Craig Blundell - one of the world's most celebrated drummers.
The record primarily leans toward a fusion of jazz rock, imaginatively described by Beggs as "Fission! It's like Fusion but less efficient and more dangerous ..with fall out." and being mainly instrumental with the exception of one track, the wonderfully titled and first single "Pavlov's Dog Killed Schrodinger's Cat". The lyrics of which, Beggs states "are written from the perspective of a layman trying to understand quantum mechanics.and failing". The track also features drum programming from Russell Holzman.
Each band member completed the recording and engineering of their own contributions in their various home studios which helped in bringing their individual production ideas to each track. Adam Holzman mixed the record at his New York home studio and the mastering was handled by Andy VanDette (Rush, David Bowie, Deep Purple, Porcupine Tree, Beastie Boys) in New York.
The title for the debut came about as Nick Beggs explains "We discussed early on, the idea of each piece having a Fragment number and track title, for example - 'Fragment 10 - Pavlov's Dog Killed Schrodinger's Cat'. As all the compositions were written as jams or in our home studios this idea seemed even more prescient. So, we titled the album 'Fragments'".
