In the beginning of 2016 a new musical collaboration evolved out of a spontaneous inspiration: the guitarist and composer Pippo Corvino found out about the music of the singer, pianist and composer Ángela Tröndle and took one of her songs he found on her website to create a new arrangement, which he recorded then in his studio. Later when he sent it to her it was soon very clear that the two of them have a very similar musical understanding: the new sound of her song, as surprisingly as it appeared, immediately pleased her and excited by this blind musical understanding they decided to continue this path.

Over three months they wrote several songs together, not having met each other once, just communicating through the internet. Many of those songs have also already been recorded in this period and therefore are musical snapshots of moments and phases of this special musical and personal encounter. After three months they decided to meet each other and started playing and rehearsing the songs for first live-concerts. Since then the repertoire is continuously growing and will lead to their first album Getting Out of the Envelopes, which will be released in January 2017 on cracked anegg records.

The album will be a collection of songs which came into being mostly since early 2016, but also new arrangements of some songs of Ángela Tröndle's solo-program will be part of the CD. The recording-process itself was a continuous work in progress over many months, reflecting this encounter in diverse musical ways.

Ángela Tröndle, born 1983 in Salzburg, studied jazz vocals and composition at the University for Music and Dramatic Arts in Graz, Austria. Since 2007 she has been performing and working with different bands and projects, releasing several albums under her name (Ángela Tröndle & MOSAIK), with The little band from Gingerland, as well as with the pop-orientated project LUNA*LAB. She has been playing numerous concerts in Austria and abroad, gained composition-commissions for different ensembles and also received scholarships for her work from the Austrian state. Furthermore she has been working on interdisciplinary projects together with dancers, performers and filmmakers. Since 2010 Ángela Tröndle lives and works as a singer, composer, arranger and music teacher in Vienna, Austria.

Pippo Corvino, born 1988 in Ex-Yugoslavia, started his musical path on the classical guitar and the piano. Soon his interests started to lead into other musical fields and he began working with diverse bands, flm-makers and as a composer and musician at the National Theatre in Montenegro. In 2010 he began his jazz guitar studies at the University for Music and Dramatic Arts Graz, Austria. He released since 2013 two Solo- CDs under his own name, doing all the composing, producing and recording by himself. Furthermore as a producer and composer he was making an album with Swiss singer Cinzia Catania and recently also started a collaboration with the Danish bass player and professor at the Music-University Graz Morten Ramsbøl, together the with Turkish pianist Anil Bilgen.
