On the impulse of Jacques Demierre, DDK trio was created in 2014 at the Festival Météo Mulhouse, France. Made up of three major figures on the international music scene, this trio plays music that is totally oriented towards the present moment. It continues the tradition of "instant composition" - going back to Lennie Tristano and passing through the legendary Jimmy Giuffre trio - and deploys an expressive palette ranging from silence to massive acoustic eruptions, while paying particular attention to the great precision of the articulation of musical discourse. An extreme care for sound and listening constitutes the core of this music, which draws from the sources of today's inventive music where multiple sound universes intersect.

The trio's third album, "A Right to Silence," consisting of three CDs, was recorded by Benjamin Maumus at Théâtre Le Colombier, Les Cabannes, France, June 21-25, 2021, on the occasion of a recording residency at GMEA-Centre National de Création Musicale d’Albi-Tarn. In choosing the music to be released, the three musicians decided to apply the principle of non-influence-in-each-other's-choice that they have been practicing for years as a trio. From there, they each made their own album from the same raw recordings, separately, each on their own. A previously unpublished text by researcher and sound artist Thibault Walter accompanies the 3-CD boxed set, highlighting the process carried out by the trio and described above.

DDK Trio は、ヨーロッパを代表する3人の即興演奏家、スイスのピアニスト Jacques Demierre、ドイツのトランペッター Axel Dörner、スイスのアコーディオン奏者 Jonas Kocher が2014年に結成。いわゆる「インスタント・コンポジション」の伝統を受け継ぎながら、最先端の現代即興音楽を聴かせるスーパー・トリオ。DDK Trio は結成以来、世界各地を訪れ、2018年には日本ツアーもおこなっている。

2021年3月21日から25日にかけて、DDK Trio はフランス南西部のレ・カバンヌでレコーディングをおこなう機会を得た。こうして生まれた数々の演奏録音から、3人はそれぞれ独自の選曲によるアルバムを制作し、それらは「Jacque Demierre’s Choice」、「Axel Dörner’s Choice」、「Jonas Kocher’s Choice」と題する3枚のCDとなった。これらCD3枚を、英語とフランス語によるライナー・ノートを掲載した20ページのブックレットも付けて、厚紙ボックスに収めたDDK Trio の記念碑的作品。
