Description
Morpheus Trance emerged from a performance of Christy Doran's Sound Fountain, in which Wolfgang Zwiauer substituted for the group's regular bassist. This gave Doran the idea to create a permanent trio of a completely different kind with Zwiauer and drummer Lukas Mantel. The bassist was part of Doran's New Bag years ago, and Mantel is a regular member of Sound Fountain.
The trio format also has something magical for Christy Doran. With Morpheus Trance, this also applies to the musical direction, the musical context. The album title "In Trance We Trust" indicates the program. Doran had come across this formula during a visit to Bali, the Indonesian island in the Indian Ocean. The sentence was emblazoned on a wall. "That struck a chord with me". In a village off the usual tourist paths, he experienced the performance of a wooden gamelan ensemble, followed by a private celebration during which dancing women fell into a trance. Wolfgang Zwiauer brought Morpheus, the Greek god of dreams, into play. The musical concept and many of the pieces were worked out during sessions on the Greek island of Paros. Doran had discovered a secluded professional studio there, which the trio booked for several days. "The experience was a flash!" The final recordings for the album were made in Zwiauer's own studio in Bern.
