| Muskox is an instrumental group formed to perform and develop the compositions of Michael Smith. Since its inception in 2006, the group has developed a unique ensemble sound drawing both from the diverse musical backgrounds of its membership, and the unusual instrumentation of banjo, vibraphone, electric piano, harmonium, double bass and alto saxophone. The music of Muskox is a challenging fusion of jazz, American minimalism, various folk musics, and progressive rock, with a focus on densely structured poly-metric pieces. ~ |
