    “We use music we find on the streets and in the forests and play them with our laptops. We play accordions, guitars, balloons, organs, and pianos. We play pretty music and we play noise. We care if you listen. We play for dancers and and video and in the dark. We record in canoes, in swamps, and in studios, and perform in Europe, India, and the U.S.”
