In Sterio was formed in January of 2007, and has been performing in California, Hawaii and Iowa since then. Flutists Shivhan Dohse and Erica Peel share a unique vision of bringing the innovative and distinctive sounds of In Sterio to listeners of all ages and musical preferences. In Sterio is currently working to diversify their repertoire to include not only Classical styles, but Irish/Folk, Funk, R&B, Rock, New Age and whatever comes their way! They are always striving to find new contemporary sounds that are both compelling and entertaining. The long term vision is to collaborate with artists in every musical genre, expanding the minds of performers and listeners, and challenging the conventional ideas of the flute sound and repertoire.I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
