Fermat's Quandary

About Me

Formed in Chicago in 2003, Fermat's Quandary was originally a keyboard and guitar duo. The lineup was eventually changed into a two cello act (still with backing laptop parts) at an early show at the Bruner and Bay gallery in Pilsen. More recently Fermat's Quandary has often been performing solo with cello and laptop, or with other instruments. Fermat's Quandary is an always evolving musical entity, which always reinvents itself and seeks to push electronic music forward. This live act aims to be highly original and innovative, fusing improvisational techniques into electronic dance music. Fermat's Quandary performs with a variety of instrumentalists, mostly cello, and always delivers a unique and quality performance. Be on the lookout for this techno and electro group in Chicago's experimental and dance scenes.add me as your myspace friend, e-mail address is [email protected]
