2011- Present

  

Beginning in late 2011, Mark McCoin and Max Bernstein began experimenting with the sonic potentials of piano harps as aural landscape and orchestra. Combining a mixture of unorthodox methods and custom noise-makers, the two establish an athletic and dynamic experience, which happily exists in many contexts. Borrowing from music, sound, visual art, and performance traditions, this collaboration liberates itself from any one discipline in order to exist as its own animal.
