Falling somewhere loosely in the cracks between post-rock jazz improvisation and ambient electronic music the duo presents an open interplay of
musical and non-musical ideas. An exploration of sound, communication in pursuit of a good moment and good time.
Playing with the possibilities of sustain, silence, space, texture, environment, and pattern. Embracing the beauty of harmony and dissonance whenever possible.
