Our creative process comes from a place that is natural and instinctive. It is difficult therefore to put ourselves into a particular category which, in today's cultural climate, is essential. Therefore, we can only express ourselves as a particular artist might.

Coming from fine art backgrounds, our process when producing work, is more about ideas, feel and spontaneity. These guide us as much as, or probably more so than technical skill, and play an integral role in our approach to music. In our experience we have come to know and understand certain structures of 'musical language' through playing and writing rather than studying, but we  try to avoid being tied down by them as much as we can.
