This portland based trio evolved from a long time collaboration between keyboardist composer, Galen Clark and drummer/percussionist, Jesse Brooke. After spending the winter of 2005 in Brazil to study traditional rhythms, Jesse and Galen returned to Portland and formed Trio Subtonic and eventually teamed up with local bass phenom, Bill Athens. The resulting sound infuses Brazilian rhythms, hip hop, funk and jazz elements with original grooves and the compositions of Galen Clark. The group combines creative compositions with a heavy emphasis on improvisation and a proclivity to groove. The most recent collaboration includes DJ Papercuts, from Portland's own live hip hop group, Quivah. Trio Subtonic released their first full length CD, "The Aqueous," July 19th, which features DJ Papercuts on several tracks. "The Aqueous" also includes a track featuring Sonja Myklebust on Cello.
