The Karo Trio, a subset of the Ensemble Karo, gives an important place to improvisation under its various forms. The objective is to bring the music of Daniel Schell to a larger public of "New Music" lovers.  From a composition point of view,  Daniel continues to explore some mathematical properties of harmonic tiling, which he calls "carreaux". This is then applied to various musical forms and sources, as melodies and material from North Indian music, melodies from the antiquity, or from the folklore repertoire. The whole is performed under a variety of characteristic rhythmic.
From the instrumentation point of view, the Karo Trio combines a rhythmic base with a soloist. The rhythmic is made by Daniel who plays the tiptar, a 12-strings sort of tap guitar tapped with the tip of the fingers and which allows therefore hands independency. And Sandip Banerjee, a well known tabla player from Kolkotta.

Festivals: The Karo Trio has played at numerous important European Festivals as Jazz Festival "Tallers de Music" live on Radio Barcelona, at the Festival Jazz & cetera Bruxelles  and the Festival "Tapage Nocturne" live on radio France, Paris.  Recently the Karo Trio was touring India, on invitation by the ICCR, an participated to festivals in Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Varanasi and Kolkata.
