A rhombus is an equilateral quadrilateral shape that is often casually
referred to as a diamond. Rhombus is a group of six Boston based
musicians playing creative original music which one could casually
compare to a diamond. Like the polished gem, their music is
meticulously crafted and multifaceted. Its intricate geometry has
remained long buried underground (where it has hardened under great
pressure), but Rhombus has now arisen from the steaming earth, like a
point of stellar light against the night sky, to be coveted for its
unparalleled beauty, its tendency to make its recipients erupt with
tearful joy, and its amazing cutting abilities.
Each member of Rhombus brings to the table a rich history of
experience and influences, both personal and musical. Hailing from
diverse regions of North America, they have played with many of the
most renowned innovators and icons in jazz; they have been schooled in
some of its most prestigious institutions; and they have made myriad
worldly and inward travels. The consistent creativity and virtuosity
of their work as performers, composers, and educators has earned them
many awards and broad praise.

Industrious Noise is a Boston-based creative music ensemble that focuses on creating smooth and seamless transitions between composition and free improvisation. The original compositions draw from a variety of influences, most prominently the odd meters and eastern tonalities of ethnic Balkan music, modern jazz and rock.
