The music we create together is very much improvisational and our material is created in the moment. We are constantly improving and developing with more ease as we play together as often as possible.. We've been playing together for two years now and will be putting together a demo in the near future of our sound.
This music would be considered "New world instrumental improvisation". Influences from Celtic to Asian. Melding ancient esthetics with modern stylings! A breath-taking experience and presentation of sights and sounds. Through our music we tell tales of mythical proportions and in the moment, spark inspiration all around.
We are the ideal live entertainment to create the perfect ambience and will compliment the perfect event you wish to share!
