trichotomy
n. pl.
1. Division into three parts or elements.
2. A system based on three parts or elements.
3. Piano. Drums. Bass.

Trichotomy's compelling, hugely dynamic trio music draws on the avant-rock of Radiohead, ECM minimalism and their love of improvisation in an entrancing Australian echo of the European jazz innovations of the likes of EST or Tord Gustavsen.
