Who we are.
The Equinox Project is
an indie studio band that performs exploratory surgery into anything that
screams to be cured of its chronic commercial ailments.
With a diverse mix of musical, cultural, and retro influences, The Equinox
Project creates music that embraces the ideology of jazz while using a global
sonic pallet. The solos are real and drums are played “live”, not sequenced.
Upright bass and acoustic piano is juxtaposed opposed against hip-hop rhythms
and industrial noise to conjure up liquid images of urban landscapes that whiffs
past your nose like sweet perfume. Our debut album “Right of Ascension”
asserts our right to be heard and be judged along side our commercial
contemporaries. Independent music from unsigned artists is just as good as any
commercial releases, if not better. So get naked with us and explore the world
of indie music.
