Eclectic, abstract, and cinematic, drummer Scott Sadlon collaborates with keyboardist Rachel Eckroth and bassist Tim Lefebvre on his 2026 effort Songs From Thin Air.  Harmonic forms are discovered during the process of performing rather than being formally structured, opening the creators to formulating avenues and fluidity on the spur of the moment as each artist responds to the others movements and interjections.  The outcome is music built from the creators listening to one another as much as performing collectively.  The press release states, "Songs From Thin Air was recorded in June 2022 at Saltmine Studios in Mesa, Arizona, capturing a single-session meeting of three musicians drawing on decades of musical and life experience. With no pre-composed material and a one-take approach for each piece, drummer Scott Sadlon, keyboardist Rachel Eckroth, and bassist Tim Lefebvre construct the album entirely in real time.  The recording process is central to the result. Each piece emerges through immediate interaction, with no opportunity for revision or reconstruction. Rather than refining ideas over multiple takes, the trio commits to first impulses, allowing structure, momentum, and form to develop organically."  With that said, the music has a refined and fluid quality that strings each track seamlessly into one collective quilt.  Evolving organically and corresponding spontaneously, the trio visit musical experiences from their past and bring them up to the surface, creating a sonic experience that is texturally stimulating and modern in its direction.
