The first question everyone should ask would be : « what is the meaning of erämaa » ? It’s a Finnish word that can be translated into wilderness or desert.
There’s one important thing with this chamber music formula, there’s few pieces composed for it, but each piece is cult piece, L’histoire du Soldat by Igor Stravinsky, Contrastes by Bela Bartok, even Berg with the adaptation of the Adagio… Those pieces are the starting point of our travel, on a very known place, and to see how these pieces influenced Gilbert Amy when he wrote En Trio for the same ensemble.

After this starting point, the goal of this ensemble is to explore the wild landscape of contemporary and experimental music through the exploration of the new fertile ground represented by the young composers !
