We are the production duo behind the samplephonic and multi-instrumental trip-hop album "The Stonefruit Sessions".

Sweet and gentle like the jasmine it's named for. And there's a series of Sudanese music producers promised. Glad Zaher got in touch and sent this in.

Heat waves are crossing Europe; stress is rising planetwide. Sudanese artist Zaher Nasr, aka Taz Waves, has an alternative. Inspired by time in Amman, Jannah Al Yasmeen (Jasmine Heaven) is as sweet an...

Music is such a beautifully global thing. Here's the wonderful DJ Manolis Stavroulakis who tagged us in a lovely post, showcasing the vinyl edition of "The Stonefruit Sessions" all the way over in Greece.

A little quite as we work on new music. What's news this week with you?

The debut album "The Stonefruit Sessions" may sound sample-driven in the style of our Aussie #samplephonic friends and former label-mates like Gotye or The Avalanches. But each track is a mix of found sounds and live piano, jazz guitar, bass guitar, drums, etc. We like to sample but we LOVE to play.

Trovaire members Dennis and David met some 20 years ago while touring in bands (Dennis in Statler & Waldorf, David in Superfluid and Segue). Think "Underworld and Chemical Brothers" and you've got the era. Needless to say, quite the shift from Trovaire's #triphop, chill out and Balearic Beats vibe.

We wrote "Oh How Lovely" after being inspired by a French jazz cellist, and giving things a touch of #triphop attitude. We hope you love it as much as we do...

This is not #triphop like the rest of the album.

We think "Balearic House" might be the right genre... but what would you call it?

Trovaire fact: our debut album "The Stonefruit Sessions" was named after the bar and cafe Stonefruit, situated in Tenterfield, a remote Australian town. Stonefruit has become a cultural oasis for the community here, and an unlikely but productive home for #triphop and samplephonic culture.

Whereas most of the album is somewhere in the realms of #triphop our single "To Leave The Sea" is hard to pin down. We think "Balearic House" might be the right genre... but what would you call it?

Intros for all our new friends here. We are Trovaire 👋 Our debut album "The Stonefruit Sessions" was written and recorded at the Summerhouse Studio on a remote 500 acre farm in Australia's granite belt. Inspired by #triphop, #jazz, and sample culture, we've crafted a beautiful album for you.

"Op Shops" are, in Australian lingo, what we call thrift stores (or charity shops for our UK friends). And we love them. Here's a little song Dennis composed after stumbling across this little instrument in the Tenterfield salvos... what should we do with it? #musicofbluesky #musicprodsky #triphop

What's the best sample-based album of all time? We're split between "Paul's Boutique" and "Since I Left You" 🤔 #sampling #cratedigging #vinyl

Dive deep into this beautiful film clip for "To Leave The Sea". Whereas most of the album is somewhere in the realms of #triphop this one is a more upbeat vibe. We think "Balearic House", but what would you call it?

Today is Bandcamp Friday, where @bandcamp waives their fees and artists get the full support of their community for every purchase made.

So today is a good day to grab a copy of "The Stonefruit Sessions" (which won't be streaming until 2025 sometime).

We wrote "Oh How Lovely" after being inspired by a French jazz cellist, with our singer Kleidi providing the just the right feeling of gentle joy, atop the mix of organic chords and percussive beats. We hope you love it as much as we do...

Our debut album is called "The Stonefruit Sessions", and is so named after the namesake bar and cafe in #Tenterfield, a remote town in the Australian granite belt. #Stonefruit has become a cultural oasis for the local creative community, and no shortage of inspiration for the music we create.

Rehearsals can be more fun than performances, right? Here we record some runs through the first single from The Stonefruit Sessions, a track called "To Leave The Sea" which we've never quite worked out the genre. Is it #Chillout? #Jazz? #Balearic #House? What do you think?

Wheels up for #Seattle... one half of the band is heading back to the grey and cold and rainy part of the world, so if you see a lost Australian around there, send him to the nearest cafe or record store pronto 😅

Thank you for your kind comments... the film clip for "To Leave The Sea" has, pardon the pun, sailed over its first 2000 views in the first two weeks since release. It is our first ever film clip, so starting from a cold start, so this means a lot to us. Thank you.
