Using a trumpet and samplers (no laptop or turntables) Chris Aiello and Greg Hammontree make improvisations that blur the lines between art music and modern club music, similar to the progression of jazz in the 1940s-50s when it transitioned from popular music to high art, EFN is developing club music into a refined and expressive performance art form. Using site-specific voice sampling - EFN captures the voices of the people where the performance is happening before the concert - focusing on subjects like; getting completely absorbed in the arts, the human experience, and artistic processes. Brooklyn based - the duo's shared credits include national tours in over 40 states, opening for Rahzel (The Roots), sold out performances at Konzerthaus Berlin (Germany), Lunigiana Music Festival (Italy), Bing Concert Hall (Stanford), Bimhaus (Amsterdam), Symphony Space, Birdland, and the Blue Note (NYC). Vague instrumental sounds, electronic processing, collaged words, it becomes a beat-driven blur. Trumpet echoes that dissolve into vapor - Deep bass, deconstructed rhythms, and bursts of experimental chaos.
