Genes

Live-Compsosing Trio

Genes' music can be described as sound-journeying, story-telling. The music is created in the present moment. Nothing has been pre-composed or arranged and yet listeners are easily convinced otherwise, for so much of what is heard has inherent structure and connectivity.

Genes are:

Gidi Farhi - Bass

Nishad Pandey - Guitars

Steve Schofield - Wind instruments, keyboard.

Funded in 2018 in Berlin.
