1>0 is a collaborative exploration featuring Benoit Delbecq (prepared piano), Nelson Veras (guitar), and Toma Gouband (lithophones and percussions). The project bridges the gap between mathematical abstraction and organic soundscapes.

Core Concept
The album’s architecture is rooted in circular compositions and the numerical sequence “56472.” This framework serves as a generative tool for a sound that is both structured and deeply improvisational.

Critical Reception
“Based on source material consisting of numerical data and abstract cycles… this trio develops a universe imbued with poetry and mystery.”
— Nicolas Dourlhès, Citizenjazz

“[An] enchanting and ultra-sensory music.”
— Jazzmagazine ★★★★

Aesthetic Identity
Utilizing lithophones (musical stones) and prepared piano, the trio creates a “mineral” and “meditative” atmosphere. The result is a sensory experience described as having a “secret yet pervasive charm” (N. Dourlhès), inviting listeners into a world where math meets dreamlike intuition.
