Our intention in this ensemble consists mainly of two elements: The contextual representations of what we consider to be largely 'pop' themes; and the possibilities of drone. It is our belief that a melody can be opened to wider interpretation, and therefore wider utilization, based on the sonic landscape in which it is presented. It is our hope that by presenting such a theme in a such a way (in a 'wash of drone,' for instance) we can capture the essence of this idea, and express our shared belief of the possibility of great movement within the static.
