The band’s work stems from a deep understanding of the instruments and the freedom of improvisation.
The band was formed as a duet, who played their first concert together in 2017. Since then, their collaboration has developed naturally and dynamically. In 2018, they went on tour and recorded material for an album released the following year by Antena No Grata. In 2023, Zofia Ilnicka joined them, bringing her own musical language that perfectly complemented the project’s concept.
The musicians respond to each other instantly, creating rich, expressive soundscapes in which every nuance matters. The sounds they create gradually break away from their original meanings and transform into multi-layered, engaging narratives. Their music draws from a variety of aesthetics: from free improvisation and drones to ambient structures.
February 2026 will see the release of the album “In the No-Time,” a collaboration between Canadian Tour de Bras and French label Circum-Disc. To celebrate, the band is embarking on an old-school promotional tour.
