This project has produced music that combines the driving intensity of punk with minimalism, electronic music, improvisation, and the harmonic sophistication of jazz.


Our music is exclusively instrumental and is neither jazz nor classical; it doesn’t use traditional formal structures; its sound is based on counterpoint rather than chords; it incorporates audio programming, field recordings, and modular synth. None of these elements are unique on their own, but their combination in the context of rock band instrumentation points in the direction of something new.
