natural sounds with both traditional and modern acoustic and electronic
musical instruments, a culmination of disparate electronic effects. Starting
out by improvisations, later fixed into musical elements which make up their
music such as theme, tune, style and sound, reached through recordings and
rehearsals, the group has carried this method of “defined improvisation” into

performances. The group continues to make music for movies and theatre, and
to perform in concerts.
