THIS IS A NEW TRIO !
ALBUM IS IN THE MAKING
We are PENDULUM TRIO – a piano trio with Benoît Delbecq (piano), Jonas Westergaard (double bass), and Peter Bruun (drums). Our music grows from a shared desire to create space rather than narrative. Instead of following a linear development, we invite listeners into a musical landscape where rhythm, sound, and movement coexist – as fields you can step into, sense, and dwell within.
​The name PENDULUM TRIO reflects our focus on time, gravity, and motion. A physical pendulum serves both as rhythmic reference and metaphor, as we explore how music can be experienced as presence rather than progression. Our concerts unfold like sensory rituals, where – through body, intuition, and attentive listening – we open a shared space for both audience and performers.
​​Peter Bruun (drums) has, for decades, explored the relationship between structure and freedom in improvisation and composition. Recipient of the Carl Nielsen Prize as a composer, he is widely recognized for his work with his own ensembles as well as leading projects on the European jazz scene.
​Benoît Delbecq (piano) is a pioneer on the international improvisation scene, particularly known for his work with prepared piano and complex rhythmic displacements. His music moves fluidly between improvisation, contemporary classical, and experimental sound art.
​Jonas Westergaard (double bass) is a distinctive voice in European jazz and improvisation. Awarded prizes including DR’s Jazz Prize, he is active in a range of groundbreaking ensembles in both Berlin and Copenhagen.
​​Together we create music that moves in the tension between the composed and the intuitive, the structural and the playful. PENDULUM TRIO is our shared laboratory for exploring how music can shape new experiences of time and presence.
