The main idea lying behind our music is trying to explore different genres while keeping our own style. Over the years, we've used sound sources as diverse as samples, violin, vocals, guitars, bass, flute, tablas, ocarina, theremin, harmonic chant, vibraphone, silence, reverb, harmonica, trumpet, Tibetan bowls, balafon, e-bow, electronics, maracas, marranzano, tapes, percussion, banjo.
Our CDs have had very good reviews,
and the wide range of bands and genres quoted as influences is evidence
of our 360° search for originality with a view towards tradition.
Electronica, minimalism, experimental guitar ambient music, psychedelic
folk, kosmische musik and kraut rock have all been mentioned to describe our music. Please check it out.
