Amsterdam presents itself as a melting pot and starting point of fruitful and creative gatherings to the same extent than it has been a colorful and vibra- ting sonic city for decades.

The city’s conservatory of music is, at the same time, the meeting point of Loran Witteveen (NL), studying jazz piano and Pol Belardi (LUX), studying bass guitar.

During a composition lesson, the two young musicians became aware of their common interest to strive for a well thought and far-reaching but yet transparent musical writing and interpretation, and after an extensive ex- change of ideas, they tried out a new format they never played in before: a piano/vibraphone duo.

Drawing inspiration from 20th century classical/contemporary music com- posers as well as from modern jazz, film and pop music, the musical result turns out as a patchwork of emotions. Sometimes melancholic and dreamy, sometimes playful and interactive, sometimes minimal and introvert, but al- ways catching the listeners attention, the music of Larn Pool is taking you on a journey through the various moods given by the unique blend of timbres provided by this special instrumentation.
