milkfactory: What can people expect when going to see you guys perform?


Burnt: It is not so much concert music as, maybe, a ritual event; ritual in the sense that the music becomes increasingly hypnotic when it plays us. Some people respond to it as a new form of club music and people are mostly baffled by the accuracy between the sequenced and the played. In general, our approach is to constitute a groove-driven musical organism. No particular instruments shall be featured in particular. Playing together means, listening carefully to what is going on. As a result, it doesn’t matter if two or two hundred instruments play together, as long as they are in tune with each other. Hence, it is not a virtuous presentation, but could also be a model for denationalized global music.
