The quartet performs self composed material, which are based within jazz, combined with a small dose of contemporary music. The music contains abstract patterns ranging from appealing soundscapes crossed energetic impulses. Improvisation and interplay between the musicians are in focus. You can describe the music of this young quartet as a combination of different timbres, unusual instrumentation, and altered sounds that create an open and exciting soundscape.
