Voor dit nieuwe ensemble heeft Bram Stadhouders klankstructuren ontwikkeld waarin geïmproviseerd wordt door internationele muzikanten uit de jazz, klassieke en elektronische hoek. Zij zorgen iedere keer voor een andere invulling van de composities terwijl het idee en de variatie toch duidelijk blijft. Er wordt uitgegaan van een gevoel, kleine melodie of een denkbeeld als inspiratie. Het gaat van compleet verstilde meditaties naar metal beats. Ook de aparte instrumentatie resulteert in een geluid en speelwijze met hints naar moderne jazz, wereldmuziek, orkestrale muziek, noise improv en ambient.
