Artist description Deconstructed jazz stylings. A dialogue between thought, breath, instrument, and listener. Improvised sounds expressing ideas and emotional states in an attempt at disassociating one from the standardized logic of the modern age. The disconnection of "habits", and a praising of the sounds and melodies that hum through day to day existence (and hopefully music with enough electric thrust to make the body move).

Music Style deconstructed jazz stylings, improvised, with a twist of punk aesthetics
