Bio
What is Life?.. .. Nobody knows. For centuries, scientists dreamt of discovering an underlying unity to Nature, from the tiniest amoeba to the greatest galaxy. The promise of success felt almost tangible, for a time, after the tiniest amoeba was located by Dutch biologist Hendrik Snell in 1973. The realization that this was a "red herring" hurled Snell, and Science in general, into a quagmire of self-doubt and despair, where it remains to this day... .. Visionary musicians, however, have picked up the torch and are advancing a new theory that may explain everything in the natural world. Ironically enough, the explanation, being solely composed of Sound and Silence, is utterly indecipherable, even to the musicians themselves. While this medium may carry with it the Mysteries of the Universe, we lack the "Rosetta Stone" needed to translate the answers. To wit, listeners may walk away from a Musical Experience without so much as a notion that something significant has occurred....... .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

Influences
SALO is watching Earth and learning about all the joy, pain, madness, and confusion it's people experience... .. Each person exists in the reality of their own mind's experience... .. Each person's mind's experience encompasses a series of moments from birth until death... .. SALO looks into these realities like little windows. If you stand back and look at all the moments and all the different realities within them the Universe begins to appear as a beautiful kaleidoscope... .. What is real?
Sounds Like
Salo plays extremely dynamic music. While rooted in jazz, new music, and rock, our expansive repertoire reveals many identities that transcend genre. An appreciation of extremes leads to a continual marriage of opposites; ecstasy and dread, order and chaos, tight ensemble work and free improvisation..... Salo performs instrumental music inspired by the human condition. The music is from the collective-subconscious realm..... Expeditions to the astral plane are undertaken to capture and extract energy generated by the experiences of our species..... The myriad stories of joy, pain, love and survival are absorbed and given life through our music...

What is Life?

Nobody knows. For centuries, scientists dreamt of discovering an underlying unity to Nature, from the tiniest amoeba to the greatest galaxy. The promise of success felt almost tangible, for a time, after the tiniest amoeba was located by Dutch biologist Hendrik Snell in 1973. The realization that this was a "red herring" hurled Snell, and Science in general, into a quagmire of self-doubt and despair, where it remains to this day.

Visionary musicians, however, have picked up the torch and are advancing a new theory that may explain everything in the natural world.

Influences:

SALO is watching Earth and learning about all the joy, pain, madness, and confusion it's people experience.

Each person exists in the reality of their own mind's experience.

Each person's mind's experience encompasses a series of moments from birth until death.

SALO looks into these realities like little windows. If you stand back and look at all the moments and all the different realities within them the Universe begins to appear as a beautiful kaleidoscope.

What is real?
