Band History

Author William Burroughs used a method of writing called the "cut-up" method. You could say we apply the same concept in the construction of our pieces. You could also say we construct in a stream-of-consciousness style. Conceptually we’re always experimenting with new ideas. Stylistically, our music is a blend of progressive and electronic influences with lots of other flavorings. The three of us are into a lot of the same music, and that brings us together at the foundation. Then the pieces become schizophrenic as our individual influences pop out.

Our approach over the years has remained the same — to allow the music to come out without much editing interference to produce a style based on the concepts present within the pieces. We try not to limit our output or sculpt it too much in any one direction.
