Jacob Wick, Reuben Radding, Andrew Greenwald share a fascination with the extremes of duration, density, texture, and their collective absence. This approach to composition and improvisation has established them individually as sought-after musicians throughout the new music communities of the U.S. and Europe. Andrew and Jacob began playing together as a duo in 2004, focusing on distilling their instruments to the barest essentials: brass, metal, wood, and plastic. Accomplished bassist and composer Reuben Radding joined the group in 2006, expanding the group’s repertoire to an almost limitless sonic palette, ranging from nearly silent, identity-blurring textures to rollicking tonal improvisations. After a year of playing together, this sonic smorgasboard has been tamed to yield subtle, gradually developing improvisations, which concentrate on sound and texture, but are not afraid to venture into rhythm and melody.
