ABOUT

All Original, Instrumental Music that has been described as Face-Melting-Prog-Rock or Black Sabbath meets Yes. The music is heavy (minor keys) with a lot of metric movement (15/4, 13/16, 7/8, 11/8, 12/8, 6/8, etc, and the occasional 4/4).

Improvisation combined with structured arrangements. The structure is more of a guideline than a rule. We want the music to go where it wants to go.

The original band was a 5 piece with guitar, bass, drums, and lots of percussion. That band dissolved and the guitarist and a drummer/percussionist continue to compose, rehearse, and record.

We are open to trying out any instrument including vocalists that like to write lyrics. The most important thing is that the music speaks to you and you have the skill and creativity to contribute.
