Trapist

Experimental Jazz Trio

Trapist is an experimental jazz trio known for blending elements of jazz, electronic music, and post-rock. The group consists of Martin Siewert on guitar and electronics, Joe Williamson on bass, and Martin Brandlmayr on drums and vibraphone. They emerged in the early 2000s as part of the European avant-garde music scene. Trapist's music is characterized by its improvisational nature, textural soundscapes, and the integration of ambient noises alongside more traditional jazz instrumentation. They have been associated with labels such as Hat Hut Records, which is known for its focus on innovative jazz and improvised music.
