Sound And Noise Dictated By Ongoing eXperimentation, one of the mantras used by sandbox trio,
described perfectly the inspiration and intent of the group.
Brought together in 1992 by the common desire to explore new
possibilities of music-making, the band's three members
- Martin Birke, Chuck Ehlis and Daniel Panasenko -
initially used traditional instruments but quickly incorporated
new instruments designed and built by Chuck.
sandbox trio went on to perform and record for the next
8 years until Chuck's untimely death in 2000.
After 3 CDs and 2 film scores (Animals and Heartbeat ), the band made its final
appearance during their tour of Germany in October 1998.
The final studio recordings of the band were released in 2004.

The last studio recording picks up where Nocturnalis
leaves off and finds the band exploring territories only
hinted at by their previous releases. New instruments
and new sounds permeate this dark, hour-long
conclusion to the band's body of work.
