FRI3SER: music that moves slowly, but hits hard Out this Friday, November 25, 2026 This Friday, November 13, Basel-based pianist and composer Lucca Fries releases the self-titled debut of FRI3SER, his new trio with electric bassist Sarah Zaugg and drummer Luca Ramella. Produced by Grammy-winning John Davis and recorded at Studio La Fonderie in Fribourg, the album takes the piano trio somewhere darker, heavier and more physical: droning piano patterns, driving bass riffs and hard-hitting drums unfold into long arcs of tension. Fries, known for his work with HELY and IKARUS, draws on the rock and metal he loved as a teenager, the morphing structures of techno, and classical and post-minimal music. At the heart of the album is “Horse”, an 18-minute suite that builds through repetition, accumulation and gradual transformation, with patterns that emerge, morph and gain weight over time. “Long-form structure is my thing. If I could, I would present an album that is only ‘Horse’, ” says Fries. Listen to the full album here, starting with “Horse” or lead single “Kris”, or download the WAVs here.
