Third Uncle

About Me

"We are the mechanic, the mathmatic and the expressionist all rolled into one."

99% of our work, starts through intense musical improvisation sessions. These improv sessions are then mixed and go through creative process in post that is anything less then conventional. Once the songs are sculpted, the group revisits the material, resulting in a sound that is rich and capable of limitless growth.

At times it is obvious that the sound consumes the group, and at other times, we control the sound. So, as you can tell, many factors go into our creative process, the moment of our surroundings, the way we feel that day, the weather, the world, art, you, me, everyone and everything.

"The one thing we ask of you is to have patience.".
