In April 2024 and in February 2020 we recorded new compositions . You can hear the results on the new album called “Windstil” by “Trio de Mast” (release sept 2024).

I know Sebastiaan van Delft mainly as a brilliant organist, however in these recordings it turns out he’s also a great pianist. Modar Salama joined us with his unique and subtle percussion in a big part of the repertoire. We perform in a trio- as well as in a duo line up. To listen to, download or buy our album go to https://pieterdemast.bandcamp.com/album/windstil Or send an email to pieterdemast@gmail.com

Some reviews:
“The trio sounded subtle and intimate,…lyricism…accents, grooves. The three musicians
were in a ongoing musical dialogue..” April 21th 2024 performance at Hothouse Leiden

“ ‘Unlike the title suggests, ‘Windstil [Windless] is an unbelievably lively album. It is an album by
someone who, in his career as a musician, audibly immersed himself in a good many musical styles;
in an organic manner, Indian music, French impressionism, soul-grooves, pop, Bach and blues are
blended with the lyrical language so typical of Pieter’s compositions and improvisations. It seems that,
after the albums by the Windstreken-ensemble, this smaller ensemble with Modar Salama and
Sebastiaan van Delft enlarges even more the poetical expressiveness. A windless haven, where all
impressions of a musical exploration find their places and to which one want to listen over and over
again.”

“Was in Windstreken het arrangement leidend voor de improvisatievrijheid van de individuele musici, in het trio is die vrijheid veel meer fluide zonder dat het ook maar een moment stuurloos wordt. Evenals in Windstreken staat in heldere thema’s de harmonie tussen de instrumenten centraal, en het trio klinkt haast als één instrument op bepaalde momenten. ”
Ken Vos (journalist o.a. Jazzism, Leidsch Dagblad). nov. 2024

De triobezetting geeft veel ruimte voor interactie…prachtige lyrische toon..klinkend en gevarieerd

“pracht-cd ! nieuw geluid en vooral transparant”
Huub de Vriend – componist

” Ik vind het album GAAF. Alles klopt. Het is afwisselend en fantasievol . Een mooie compilatie van sferen, kleuren en emoties.behalve de technische kwaliteit van de musici valt het geweldige samenspel van het trio op:timing ,interactie, grote lijnen vd composities.,etc.”
Theo Visser (organist)

“heerlijke muziek” Lex Bohlmeijer Passaggio-NPO “Hollandse Nieuwe” in het radioprogramma “Passaggio” november 2024
