建立与发展在美国的李晓川致力于给音乐注入新的生命,无论是在个性,以及音乐的发展方向上,他们都是一个引人注目的团体。其成员来自不同的国家,有着不同的文化背景, 所以他们的音乐被赋予了极其独特的声音。他们的音乐风格融合了传统爵士、古典、摇滚和一些流行音乐的元素。这样的融汇一直让听众对他们的音乐抱有期待和惊喜。
李晓川强调整个乐团的独特性,希望建立全新的音乐类型。音乐和智力的结合, 这种想法体现了一种微妙的结构和坚定的一致。从人类的经验来看, 在充满了狂喜的水沟总是依着幻化万变的生活道路伸延出去的, 而有时却平静地淌着眼泪, 颤动。在内心的平静和痛苦中,音乐与情感同行,去捕获一切形式的抽象、纯粹、原始的感觉。
