OLYMPIAN

About Me

Formed in 2004, OLYMPIAN was a San Francisco based all instrumental quartet consisting of synths, piano, guitars, bass and drums. The group wrote, arranged and played music that combined their various influences, taking a compositional approach to their songs. The results range from pop to prog rock to noise to jazz and places in between. "Soundtrack music" and "elegant noise" have also been used to describe the group.
