About
With its distinctive blend of violin, cello, and electric microtonal keyboard with 31 keys per octave, the Vienna-based Trio Terrea creates a fresh musical perspective that reaches beyond conventional boundaries. The three musicians shape microtonality into a landscape of encounter between different musical disciplines — a realm where past and present confront each other.
Central to their sound is the Claviton — a keyboard with 31 keys per octave, developed by Georg Vogel. It serves as a canvas for Amir Ahmadi, who applies diverse tuning systems to explore new microtonal possibilities, defining the ensemble’s sonic field.
Within this space, Sarvin Hazin, a violinist rooted in both European classical and Persian Dastgah traditions, and Anna Maria Niemiec, a cellist primarily dedicated to new music and improvisation, fully unfold their artistry, merging with the keys to bridge the acoustic and the electronic into a single, fluid sound world.
Following their debut album Raz —released on February 6, 2026 under the Swiss-based label Unit Records — Terrea has already impressed audiences at venues and festivals across Austria and abroad.
Raz presents Amir Ahmadi’s compositions, in which he intertwines fragments of Persian musical vocabulary with elements of modern music in a completely new and personal approach. Here, the trio moves fluidly between jazz, fusion, traditional, and contemporary idioms, weaving this diversity into a cohesive entity.
With each member specializing in different disciplines, the trio delivers a deeply moving and unique listening experience, offering audiences an opportunity to immerse themselves in a rich tapestry of cultural influences and musical innovation.
