avant garde

Susan Stenger has bridged the rock and art music worlds throughout her career. She grew up in Buffalo, New York, where she both played in bands and explored new music as a student of Petr Kotik and Julius Eastman. She skipped her high school graduation to attend the now legendary "New Music In New Hampshire" summer workshop in Chocorua, NH, where she first encountered the music of faculty members David Tudor, David Behrman, Gordon Mumma and Frederick Rzewski in what was a life-changing experience.

Formed way back in 2003 and originally a three piece unit (guitar, baritone and drums with shared vocals out front). The three self released the 'discover mutiny ep', ltd to a 100 copies and sold in hand made artwork. In 2005 three became four with the addition of a bass player and the baritone was soon switched for guitar. The sound quickly broadened out and developed beyond noisy hardcore rock. The four released an album of 7 songs in 2005 some of which were re-working of songs found on the ep. This was also called 'discover mutiny'.
