THE MUSIC
Will & Cantrell describe their music as sonic synergy: a sound that emanates directly from the heart, and generates an energy greater than the sum of its parts. It could also be described as somatic synesthesia: a vibration sent directly into the body, causing a creative convergence of the senses. While it is global in scope, their music arises from and is deeply influenced by the unique landscape, weather, flora, fauna, and human culture of northern Sonora, the "Singing Desert" they call home.

Will explores the science of sound and the art of percussion to unlock the mystery of how and why we perceive, comprehend, and enjoy rhythm; then he conducts the ensemble in a complex polyrhythm, and invites individual participants to express their own unique "heart beat" by soloing over the groove.
Cantrell explores body awareness and breathing, tonality and intonation, melody and harmony, freeing each participant's imagination to find the individual "body note" that resonates within; then s
