David Leikam and Joe Straub; A duo music project that explores the delicate fabric of structured improvisational landscapes and atmospheric composition. Meeting at the California Institute of the Arts in 2005 while both were studying music composition. In 2010, while Joe was in-residency at Maybeck Studios in Berkeley, CA, they decided to start a collaboration that continues to the present and produced a unique album consisting of structured improvisations in 2010 entitled Discovery of Systems that was realized during the afternoon sessions. They are recording a follow-up album in 2012 as Joe is currently residing back in San Francisco, California after a couple years in Berlin, Germany as well as performing concert engagements.
