Signal to Noise is composed of four very unique and accomplished improvisers – hailing from The U.S., Japan and France. The band about exploring methods and strategies of improvisation, whose music is grounded in jazz improvisation, blending concepts and principles from both Western and Eastern contemporary classical music. A significant element of Signal to Noise’s philosophy is best summarized by Mr. Anthony Braxton from a 1993 interview: “I want, that which happens when music happens, to happen. It’s not about me being the total energy that completes the process of the “ising” of the music.”
