A quartet formed with a view to making improvisations and instant compositions which avoid the highly active language of free improvisation and tends more towards ritual or even contemporary classical music. The result is atmospheric and occasionally unsettling, as the music ripples between spacious, metallic and otherworldly soundscapes to earthy, rhythmic and strident, yet melodic tones. The use of unusual/ethnic instruments married with two percussionists gives a distinctive flavour of the unexpected.
