Building on their collaborations in the Noah Kaplan Quartet albums on Hat Hut/ezz-thetics — Descendants, Cluster Swerve, and Out of the Hole — bass guitarist Giacomo Merega (also of Dollshot) and guitarist Joe Morris (with pedals) explore intricate and dichotomous interplay, weaving parallel and divergent lines into richly complex interactions, suffused with a deep and resonant sonic richness.

The 1st release of NY baritone saxophonist & bass clarinetist Josh Sinton's FiP label (Form is Possibility) is the debut of the "What Happens in a Year" trio with Todd Neufeld on electric guitar and Giacomo Merega on electric bass, an album of free collective improvisation fueled by a patiently ethereal and authoritative ethic through subtle dialog of tone, texture and pulse.
