Waldron along with the video expertise of Jason Scott Furr. The crew has been seen if not heard sonically feeding the beast known as X A M B U C A.

X A M B U C A is not limited to any particular style or category of music and would like to establish that it not be limited to the confines of musical categorization… experimental you say? Well, we’ve experimented and know the possibility of most usable sonic results. So has the rest of mankind now that we together shall embark upon the recurring footprints of human unoriginality.
