Formation -In- is essentially an acoustic trio led by a vibraphone, accompanied by a double bass and a jazz guitar. Although the music is mostly acoustic, some of the soundscapes are transformed electronically, which gives a new dimension to the vibraphone sounds. The music on the album has been inspired by the paintings of Wassily Kandinsky, who as well as being a painter was also an accomplished musician.
