The duo of Aram Shelton and Steini Gunnarson.

Using prepared guitar, wind instruments and live sample-based processing via PD and MSP, they create thick multilayered textural music that is guided by their expressive melodicism. Their music is improvised and balances between the acoustic and electronic realms, the electronics having the tendency to blur the line of what is acoustic and what is not. It is held together by a shared sense of commitment to long forms and instinctive timing. In a way comparable to the surprising similarities of physical stress that can occur in both warm and cold climates.

They have been playing since 2005, and have recently played at the Empty Bottle in Chicago and the Stone in New York. In the summer of 2007 their self-titled album was released by Edgetone Records.
