Canadian (but Berlin-based) guitarist Aidan Baker began the Trio Not Trio
project in 2022 as a series of improvisational recording sessions wherein Baker
played in person as a duo with another Berlin-based musician, then sent those
recordings to an international musician to add a third part to complete the
trio.

Baker chose this particular work method in a deliberate attempt to explore the
different experiences and methodologies of in-person performance compared to
long-distance, file-sharing collaborations. The resulting recordings from these
five trios, eleven different musicians, none of whom had previously worked
together, resulted in quite different albums, each with unique sounds and
characteristics, combining elements of jazz, ambient, electronic, rock, and
avant-garde music, even as Baker's signature guitar sound binds them together.
While the sessions varied in length, each album has been slightly edited down
and/or re-arranged so that each are approximately an hour long.
