Chimurenga Electroacoustic Ensemble

The Chimurenga Electroacoustic Ensemble take the concept of large ensembles synonymous with jazz, gamelan and numerous other world genres and apply it within an electroacoustic setting. The group explores timbral subtleties and the threshold of hearing, while experimenting with phonography, microtonal music, rhythmic folk ballads, and free jazz.
