Bad Luck

This is jazz stripped of its polite dinner-party reputation and thrown into a high-speed collision with industrial noise. The sound is dominated by the telepathic, often violent interplay between a tenor saxophone and a drum kit, where every horn blast is mangled by live electronic processing. It feels like a chase scene through a rain-slicked alleyway, full of sharp turns and sudden, breathless stops.

What makes this project distinctive is the sheer volume and density achieved by only two people. By using live electronics to loop, distort, and pitch-shift the saxophone, they create a wall of sound that mimics a much larger, much more dangerous ensemble. The drumming is equally relentless, favoring complex, jagged polyrhythms that feel more like a physical assault than a standard beat.

Start with the album 'Three' to hear the duo at their most cohesive. It is the perfect entry point for anyone who likes the intensity of math-rock or the grit of industrial music but wants the improvisational freedom that only jazz can provide. It is demanding, loud, and deeply rewarding for those who like their music with a bit of a serrated edge.
