Drummer, composer, storyteller Sean Noonan sees himself as a modern-day sonic griot, wandering the globe gathering stories, legends, and folklore like a punk-jazz Alan Lomax.The Trio was formed after the 2016 album release ‘Memorable Sticks”. Noonan adopts a magical scepter to dig the depths of the Wieliczka Salt Mine in Poland revealing ‘Hidden Treasures’, as if Henry Cowell, Cecil Taylor, Frank Zappa and the Grateful Dead were out on a night of romance in quest of a good street fight. The treasures that he finds along the way are filtered through his distinctive vision to become the unpredictable and far-ranging sounds of Noonan’s wide-spectrum music.The Immortal Rod is a symbol of power and authority in the salt mine, and is always in the Foreman’s possession. When the miners chip away at a wall of salt, the clatter of their pickaxes resounds from wall to wall, from floor to ceiling and, finding no outlet, soaks into the saline bedrock. The mine’s walls remember everything – the voices of people, as well as horses. The memories residing in the walls can be awakened, upon being struck by the Rod. Sean Noonan penetrates the depths of Wieliczka’s underworld, using a pair of magical drumsticks, and reveals the Hidden Treasures guarded by Skarbnik, the treasurer of that mine. Noonan encounters an apparition – the White Lady, Wieliczka, along with her dwarfs – who beseeches him, in tears, to take her from the salt mine.
