Amid the waves of electronic-based music and the acoustic cries of a sound-seeking generation, The Alpha Rhythm plays with a pressure that fuses both worlds together in an organic-electronic explosion. The group, formed in Austin, TX in 2002, is the result of the combination of six members, all with diverse musical backgrounds and desires to integrate traditional instrumentation with the latest in electronic music technologies. Musical influences, including Tortoise, Cinematic Orchestra, DJ Shadow, DJ Spooky, Tricky, LTJ Bukem, Amon Tobin, Stephen Reicht, Miles Davis, and Phillip Glass, have lent the band a history that has help it shape a new musical future.
