PATRICK BREINER is a saxophonist, clarinetist, composer, and educator living in Pittsburgh, PA. He is widely sought after as a unique and energetic instrumentalist and improvisor.
He has toured the U.S., Canada, and Europe and has recorded extensively as a solo artist and as a member of Battle Trance, VAX, Sons of Daughters, and Bing and Ruth.

NATHAN ALEXANDER PAPE is a musician, mathematician, acoustician, and educator born in Smithfield, VA, and based in Brooklyn, NY, from 2008 until 2018. He now joyfully resides just outside of Tulsa, OK, surrounded by old oak trees and a host of wildlife. His music practice focuses on the sonic expansion of the steel-string acoustic guitar through improvisation and minimalist structures/processes. Instead of simply defying the constraints of the guitar, Nathan uses its limitations and traditions as viable sources for creation. Nathan’s personal vocabulary is informed by jazz, free improvisation, acoustic phenomena, and a repertoire of folk songs—drawing upon an excitement for the unknown and the sense of nostalgia and joy in the diverse sounds of American music traditions.

I do not claim to know much (allegedly) but I do note that form is a thing, structure, but it is perceived and there is joy in the search for the parts. These songs are a tribute to the beauty of composition, parts becoming a whole. To see the creature emerge and stare in awe of its full form. To say, "This is!" Yes, I like these songs a lot.
