Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen not occurring naturally which is typically produced through nuclear fusion. Due to its higher atomic weight, at high temperature and pressure levels the positively-charged nucleus is even more likely to engage in further levels of fusion.
Project Tritium is an experiment in producing music not generally found "on the scene," through the fusion of traditional and progressive genres. Employing the best of jazz, power trio rock, free-verse poetry, delta blues, surrealism, free-form jam, bluegrass, fusion, heavy metal, and traditional rock and roll, Project Tritium seeks to deliver a sound unique in time and space.
