about

Instrumental modern music that blends classical instruments with modern electronics [...] blurring the lines between ambient and assertive statements on the bass clarinet.

You'll find there is a lot of space around what's happening at times, which serves to emphasize what's really important. The music sits near that sweet spot between funky noise and just enough momentum of familiar sounds. It keeps the listener on a path and keeps me curious about what's coming next.

— McMaster

Some parts are weird. Some parts are creepy. All of it is good.

— Josi (age 8)
