“Reliant Tom gives me the outlet to explore both pulse driven works while maintaining the other musical elements which I find fascinating - timbre, aleatoric processes, and interactive technologies,” Weber explains.

Their debut Bad Orange deals with the pitfalls of digital communication and modern interaction – thru the guise of avant-pop/punk that use electric guitar, vocals, a hybrid electro-acoustic drums, and synths. Slated for a May 2020, their next album Play & Rewind is a decidedly bold and step forward: Cuny’s sultry and expressive vocals while being prominently placed front and center, effortlessly glide over lush yet spacious arrangements of shimmering acoustic guitars, atmospheric electronics and piano with cinematic air.
