Flowing, adventurous, part-composed, part-improvised musical journeys.

“You can't measure the mutual affection of two human beings by the number of words they exchange.” ―Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
It is easy to find people to be with, but to really connect is something else. You can't measure that connection in the number of words spoken nor in the number of notes played, but there is a quality, a truth evident in those words and in those notes that points towards mutual affection, towards a connection.
We (Renda and Steve) met on a few jazz sessions and immediately had a feeling that this connection existed between us. Our first meet up as a duo (outside of a gig) was intended to create a very practical project, a project to play a few gigs to pay the rent. Instead we pressed record and improvised for an hour and we have continued meeting like this ever since. We don't say a lot before, we don't discuss what we will play, we take time to talk about how life is going and then we just play and the connection is there, we can feel it and we are sure you can hear it.
Each session brings new music, some of it lives and dies in the moment, some of it is captured, sculpted and reworked into way markers which we use to guide us along the path that is our live show.
Unlike our website, we are ready, in fact itching to play for you, get in touch, a dynamic and unique sonic adventure awaits!
