Crouton is very pleased to announce the release of a special 10ä record from the Hafler Trio. For over 20 years, the Hafler Trio has explored various ideas through sound, visuals, and text. This release marks a culmination of those concerns, and an examination of the underlying impulses that inform the use of a Îworkâ for Îwork.â

In a time saturated with technologyâs impact on sound, this record focuses on the personal dealing of techniques from the past with those of the present, and both of these seen from the othersâ perspective. Although the record thematically touches on historical, as well as current approaches, no sounds were taken from any other work ö a consistent value of the Hafler Trio since its inception. Through this exploration, the undeniable reality of Îunbalanced natureâ becomes apparent, and the concern for human motives, actions, and ãprogress,ä is seen as a means to an end.

“One thing I am trying to do, in a small way, is redress a balance, and instigate some small processes that over time might serve to replenish the small units that can form basic building blocks for such an eco-system, while addressing things in my personal state with regards to that and its ramifications, which I have to deal with quite apart from that intention in that direction. The bridge between these is something I have to, and have become, so that I disappear. But that doesn’t mean ceasing to exist…” - Andrew M. McKenzie
