freejazzy No favorite track to pick? What a pitty. But then it's probably because they are all fabulous - this trio just takes it away.

john-mcguire "Living The Dream" has got the quirkiness and unpredictable shifts fans of Alex Machacek have come to appreciate from his music. The intricate ensemble work here is brilliant, fresh and out-of-the-box ... highest recommendation!

masj Superb compositions, with some subtle humour. Not forgetting awesome playing by Alex and his FAT colleagues. As a young lady sighs in Oh Lard: "unforgettable"!

    Living the Dream is the second chapter of FAT – next-generation guitar modernist Alex Machacek's Fabulous Austrian Trio, featuring bassist Raphael Preuschl and drummer Herbert Pirker. With the sensitive touch of a jazz guitarist, the intervallic ingenuity and harmonic density of a post-serialist composer, and a seemingly endless capacity for improvisational empathy, Machacek has been turning heads on his own and when performing alongside such iconic musical forces as Terry Bozzio, Jeff Sipe, and Gary Husband. No less than John McLaughlin remarked that "Machacek's music starts where other music ends." Born in Austria – native nation of Haydn, Strauss, Webern, and Schoenberg – Machacek revels in the company of his countrymen throughout Living the Dream. In Preuschl and Pirker, Machacek has cultivated a trio of boundless resourcefulness, with the technical capacity to support and enrich his ecstatic flights and the depth and taste to keep the potentially demanding music emotionally grounded. Machacek’s deft hand as a producer further elevates the trio’s captivating dynamic with cunning electronic touches and subtle overdubs. Across a program of eleven original compositions (four by Preuschl, the rest Machacek’s), Living the Dream is a compelling document of a remarkable new ensemble as they fearless probe the boundaries of a post-fusion universe.
