This is the electronic and experimental post rock project of Mehool Patel. The material consists of mostly instrumental compositions, twisting genres of rock, electronica, groove, and ambient, with an enthusiam for odd beats and rhythms... sometimes painting moods and emotion without words, and other times integrating sounds from space, the paranormal, and daily life.

Influences include Trey Gunn, Ozric Tentacles, Tortoise, Squarepusher, King Crimson, Porcupine Tree, Radiohead, Medeski Martin and Wood, Shakti, Pink Floyd, Talvin Singh, Aphex Twin, Talking Heads, William Orbit, Hooverphonic, Pell Mell, Stereolab, Orb, Photek, Brian Eno.

Mehool provides bass guitar, Chapman Stick, rubberband bass, loops, samplers, soft synths and programming. Various special guests provide guitars, synths, woodwinds and percussion.
