about

The Nestle trio exists in performance.
The Nestle trio is listening.
The Nestle trio is a realization of visions.

The Nestle trio is an expression of being through doing. The Nestle trio has formulated this performance document under studio conditions with the intention that it speak for them in advance of their arrival: Hoffman Estates.

The venue for this performance was a studio nestled in the heart of suburban village Hoffman Estates, IL: a tributary that has fed the river of the usa music underground for years.

The Nestle trio of Robert Lundberg, Ryan Packard, and Cyrus Pireh respectively assembled an instrumentation of double bass and electronics; percussion, accordion, and electronics; and 9-string electric future lute to execute this performance.

To live and thrive in the current situation invokes a certain music: not a music to put on as background or a music to wear as a shirt or badge and gain entry into social sets.

A music that is the result of doing.
A music that is the result of people.
A music that exists as proof of existence.

In the near future, once our society can no longer continue to export culture, oil-based transport, medicine, and weap­ons, this will be the only music.

This music will sustain us long after we have polluted all the water and burned the forests.

CYRUS PIREH was born in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, usa on March 22, 1981. Cyrus studied violin, electric guitar, saxophone, percussion, composition, music theory, electroacoustic music, and electrical theory. Cyrus holds BA and MA degrees in Music Composition from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. As a composer, Cyrus' works involve sign manipulation to keep the interpretive field open. As a performer, Cyrus is interested in the limits of body and self: always pushing towards a physical transcendence but working to situate that transcendence in the quotidian in order to live an everyday-life-transcendence. As an anarchist, Cyrus actively works to dismantle hierarchy and to heal the damages done by industry's division of people into performers and audience; producers and consumers. In music, it is not possible to obstruct one sound with another. All sounds combine to create one harmony. Humans in harmony liberate each other.
