SonCe trio - Spring Grey Geese

about

Trio SonCe was formed in November 2019 but its underlying concept was something that had been on Golovchenko's mind for some time. Having initially contacted Masafrets to explore her idea of fusing folk and experimental approaches, she also received an unrelated invitation to collaborate informally from Aslanpay the following day. After joining the latter to improvise, she quickly realized the potential that a trio with the two of them would hold and the three soon became a band.
A native of the Ukraine, Golovchenko moved to the Netherlands in 2011 to continue her studies and has, in the intervening decade, established herself an eclectic singer, curator and teacher, with a particular interest in intercultural collaboration. She's worked with the likes of electronic musician Michel Banabila, celebrated improvising violinist Oene van Geel, Dutch-Ukrainian composer Maxim Shalygin, German jazz guitarist Florian Zenker, vocalist Sanne Rambags, and is a member of Quadriga Quartet and August 38th. Though she had some involvement in folk genres in her home country, her deep affnity for traditional Ukrainian forms blossomed as she spent time abroad. “I love the taste of Ukrainian language when I sing,” she remarks.
Barcelona-born cellist Pau Sola Masafrets has cultivated a unique language on his instrument and worked with a number of key fgures in jazz and improvised music including Ig Henneman, Ab Baars, Wolter Wierbos, Mary Oliver, Oene Van Geel, and Gareth Davis. He shares Golovchenko's interest in cross-cultural expression and has delved into South Indian music as an extension of his own creative endeavours. In addition to frequently performing as a soloist, Cengiz Arslanpay is a fellow collaborator of Michel Banabila, Oene Van Geel, and Ab Baars, and has also worked with bass saxophonist Klaas Hekman, baglama player Orkun Agir, microtonal folk eccentric Chris Rainier, and renowned sheng innovator WuWei.
