OUR MISSION STATEMENT

We are a group of composers based all around the world actively providing new experiences for audiences and artists everywhere. Creating fresh and engaging new music for all types of ensembles and mediums, we strive to push the limits of what defines music and art through experimental, conventional, and interdisciplinary means.

HISTORY
