Projects Undertaken ;
Asilitronic Music
This is a music genre that we are the ones who first developed, and we are still exploring; it involves the performance of traditional musicians playing and singing live their traditional music and collaborating with a DJ who plays synthetic sample packs of other traditional musical instruments that are arranged in a way that is counter-intuitive to the instruments the musicians play and end up creating an amazing music taste. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zl8jGTC-sng(link is external)
