The trio made up of violinist Andrew Tholl, percussionist Corey Fogel, and bassist Devin Hoff uses spontaneous and strategized improvisations to build musical worlds that are dissonant, complex, and beautiful. This unique combination of musicians screams shards of its collective resume: jazz, noise, classical, folk, and rock combine to create music that is beyond genre.
