Exegesis

Exegesis is the belief that symbols, scientific thought, astronomical ideas, numerical ratios and conceptual art and architecture can be expressed in sound. Indeed, many of the group's compositions were conceived using these influences and ideas. This group has created it's own style of electronic jazz, making use of live samplers and interactive music software in quite complex compositions. Exegesis has always strived to bridge the gap between modern music technology and improvisation and the music on their new CD, The Harmony of the Anomaly is a nice reflection of this. The group's core members are Nick Demopoulos on guitar, Danton Boller on bass and Tomas Fujiwara on drums
