Heavy Arts Ensemble is a collective of Bay Area musicians and media artists. Through a collage of avant-garde jazz, drone, extended melodic improvisation, live sampling, modular synthesis, live visuals, radical software and the outer edges of experimental beat culture, Heavy Arts Ensemble seeks to push deep grooves into trance-inducing states.
