“In Japan we have the phrase Sho-Shin, which means “beginner’s mind”. […] In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities; in the expert’s mind there are few. […]This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.“(Shunryu Suzuki)

Formed in 2013, Sho Shin Duo have developed their original language, rooted in free improvisation, combining the acoustic impact of reeds and drums with live electronic manipulations.

Sho Shin Duo have published three albums: Live At Lux (2015), Free the Cat! (2016)  and Mycophilia (2018). Their music is published by Italian label Setola di Maiale.

The duo have been touring extensively around Europe, playing in Italy, Germany, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Belgium, Poland.

SHO SHIN TRIO ( IT/BE )

Riccardo Marogna:​ tenor saxophone, clarinets

Seppe Gebruers: ​prepared pianos

Riccardo La Foresta: ​drums

Sho Shin Trio is the result of a high-temperature melting process between Italian project Sho Shin Duo and Belgian pianist Seppe Gebruers. The fortunate clash originated in a particular Time-Space concurrency on May 9th 2017 at 7.30pm CET in Antwerpen, Belgium. After that first encounter, exactly two years later the trio met again for a short tour during which the fusion reached the point of no return, becoming inevitable. After this successful first tour – in which the band had its debut on stages such as De Studio (Antwerp), Hot Club Ghent, and PlusEtage (NL), Loft (Cologne).
