Tensegrity Nine

About Me

Tensegrity Nine is an Oakland/Alameda-based Electronic Pop music duo featuring Matt Payne and Peter Lim on a variety of electronic and acoustic instruments. Formed in late 2003, Tensegrity Nine fuses elements of Folk, Rap, J-Pop, Progressive House, and Hyphy to create a distinctly out-of-this-world musical atmosphere. Tensegrity Nine's live performance is a seamless, high-energy affair featuring passionate vocals, musical solos on strange instruments, quirky humor, and choreographed dancing. In essence, it is the musical nerd-rock, electro-pop equivalent of John Mayer, anticon, Yanni, and Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, thrown into a pot of steaming lava, mixed together with an electric egg beater.

T9 is available to play at your next Wedding, Bar/Bat-mitzvah, High School Prom, Baby Shower, or Shower! Holler at a playa: [email protected]
