The custodian was sweeping as we set up our instruments. Then, we were ready to play....but Larry was still sweeping. So we used his rhythm to begin our piece. The video was shot in the swamps of Louisiana. Instruments, piano, violin, cello, sax, percussion and guitar.

Sweeping with Larry

A cold January, but it was warm in the studio. The three of us tapped into the music stream and came up with this....

Seahorse Universe

Technical Compression

Leons Tightrope

Chicken Coop Sunrise

ChickenCoop Midnight

The Scorpion and the Snake

StreetCorner Preachers

The quintet, before a live audience, shifts through musical planes of reference as if in a dream.

The Last Dream

The Incense Merchants are an improvisational ensemble of fine art musicians. 

We have no plan, no guidelines in our music-making other than to listen intently
to where the music is going and to respond (or not) with the hope of 
creating a beautiful piece of music, an experience, a journey.
