DeCollage

DeCollage ( French “to take off” /  “to become unglued [from ground or water]”) is an improvising trio of Accordion (Simone Baron), Upright Bass (Adi Meyerson), and Tabla (Krissy Bergmark) formed from relationships built slowly over many years converging in a sudden breathtaking moment of musical lift-off. Taking inspiration from the more literal English etymology of deconstructing a collage, these three artists build worlds through the ever shifting process of bringing together and coming apart. The trio explores soundscapes where textures, traditions, and personal geographies are cut, pasted, unraveled, and reimagined. Their music intersects ritual with experimentation—a sacred space where memory, body, and place converge. 

Coming together for the first time in October of 2024 for an improvised set at Mutual Mentorship for Musician’s M3 Festival and Roulette in NYC, the three began to craft a sound that centers on patience and balance. They have also been featured at the Catalytic festival in DC, and in August were trio in residence at the Red Corral Ranch in Wimberly, TX. Their work centers around the delicate balance of “just enough”—like water, an element that heals, transforms, and destroys depending on its measure. Improvisation becomes a lived somatic practice, a way of listening to the world and to one another, drawing from personal rituals, grief, joy, and the wild landscapes they each inhabit.

With its members scattered across the United States,  DeCollage itself is a quantum murmuration, a moving constellation—three dots on a map whose rare convergences yield sonic collages honoring both distance and reunion, listening in on multiple realities simultaneously.
