The Abstractions
named by musician/poet/author C.J. Reaven Borosque, was formed by Bay Area musician/producers Rent Romus and Ernesto Diaz-Infante. Taking elements from a cross section of genres, The Abstractions rip apart, rent asumder, and redefine music offering a sonic pallet of utter disturbance. Drawing from an improvisational body of knowledge, the unspoken words transformed to music, history, and social insight make up this unclassifiable experimental music.
