This is a relatively new ensemble with some of my favorite artists exploring territories I’ve been itching to explore for some time. It’s about taking a deep dive into texture and allowing all the elements of music we usually focus on to emerge on their own through our continuously-redoubled focus on textural exploration and interaction. It’s a powerful experience - it’s own sort of mass.
