Kelly Thoma Trio "On the Seafloor" Kelly Thoma together with two versatile and highly accomplished colleagues invites us on a musical journey to the magical depths of the sea. A journey which has as its starting point the rhythm and movement of the creatures of the sea world. A journey to the seabed, where silence and peace give rise to inspiration and the creation of imaginary musical worlds. The filming of the concert took place amidst the tanks of the Aquarium of Crete (CRETAquarium), thanks to the courtesy of its custodians. Kelly Thoma presents a series of compositions for Cretan lyra together with Mayu Shviro and Bijan Chemirani, who lend breath and strength to the material. A charismatic composer, she has earned her own place in the world music scene and has collaborated with leading musicians from many different genres. Together with Bijan Chemirani (percussion) and Mayu Shviro (cello), they present a series of her musical works enriched with improvisations and influences reflecting the origins and trajectory of each of the musicians. Kelly Thoma has managed to combine sounds of the past and the present in a unique personal style which constitutes a proposal to the future. Bijan Chemirani is today one of the most renowned musicians of his genre, who has developed techniques and style that have contributed decisively to a new school of Persian percussion. Mayu Shviro, a cello master with extended studies in Western classical music and Azerbaijani mugam (modes), creates a unique sound through her improvisations and impressive technique. The bows of the lyra and the cello are woven into a magical dance of melodies, playing with the rhythms of the percussion through contemporary compositions and improvisations that creatively approach ancient sounds and traditions.
