Bio: BOAT BURNING is an experiment in live music composition using amplified guitars, cello, percussion, tape and chance. Each performance is 100% unique, as there are no prearranged pieces, prerecorded loops, synthesizers or overdubbing: everything you hear is created totally live and in the moment.... See Full Bio
