Artist description The songs are very experimental with the tempo and time signature fluctuating. Both exotic and common scales are explored with a tendency towards emphasizing drones and modal textures. The compositions are generally long and extremely dense at times. Drums, guitar, bass, organ, electric piano, turntables, various synths, samplers, electronic noises, bongos, hand percussion, trumpet and harmonica are components of the instrumentation. The compositions are driven by loosely-constrained improvisations.
