Loop 2.4.3 follows in the tradition of composer-led ensembles, ala Steve Reich and Musicians, Phillip Glass, Harry Partch, Moondog, and late-60’s Miles Davis. Throw in a touch of Romanticism, world-influences, and an affinity for rock, and you get an idea of their esthetic. Cerebral, yet soulful, "the two of them..suggest worlds of feeling" (New Haven Advocate) and are quick to demonstrate that they can not only shake the room with a percussive force of nature, but that percussion instruments can be very melodic and possess infinite subtlety. From the melancholic, rich melodicism of Zodiac Dust, to the grooving, multi-textured virtuosity of The Existentialist, and the electro-acoustic other-worldliness of Dark Matter, Loop 2.4.3 makes music consisting of both "action adventures and reveries... all sound[ing] like part of a well-thought-out tradition, only the tradition has never existed until now."
