About the band:

Album To Be was recorded by Valent and Konrad in four years. A lot of musicians "left" their samples to work with. Brass, violins, vocals, ethnic samples from Balkans...
Anything that struck us musically or emotionally found it`s place in our songs. We spent some time experimenting with all kind of musicians on stage in a club in Zagreb in a way that nothing was predefined, accept instrument played and that the session is on Fridays :-). Valent played guitar and Konrad played bass, their root instruments. Every session they called someone new to play with, so there were drummers, vocalists, MC`s, didgeridoo and saxophone players, percussionists...it was great fun!

After some time vocalist Mario joined the project. After some studio sessions we felt that the time has come to make an album with all the bits and peaces we collected through sessions.

Main gear to record was World stick and AKAI sampler.
Valent plays World stick, Scandinavian ethnic instrument with three strings, which he got as a present from Roger Ludwigsen on a workshop in Zagreb. That instrument changed his guitaristic brain and defined bands sound on a big scale. Mario is a singer who just walks in a vocal booth and sings the right thing. When he wasn't working on a gas station, he was in the studio singing. Konrad was programing the sampler on his own, then Valent played the Stick, Mario would hear the recording and shout:"Record this!" and songs started to come together.

Live we are a true band counting seven members: World stick (Valent), Bass (Konrad), Vocals (Mario), Drums (Janko), Guitar (Elvis), Sinth and samples (Toni), Sound and dubbing (Damir) and VJ (Neven).
We try to find that LessThanAMinute moment which represents a moment of true energy flow between us and the audience. A moment which never lasts a long time, but You remember it mostly your whole life. Like when you see a girl (or a boy:-) go by and he/she sees you, you say nothing to each other, but you know that he/she is thinking of you those few moments. Maybe you want remember the moment each day, maybe not in a week or a month, but it comes back to you sometimes and your`e glad to remember that moment.

LessThanAMinute to meet you!
