5 Percussion and Fixed Track
Inspired by the IDM music of artists such as Squarepusher and Venetian Snares, The Breaks has relentless energy and gritty break beats played on prepared drums (frying pans, tambourines, cymbals, etc. placed on the drums) marimba and vibraphone. The live instruments are accompanied by an electronic track that would fit in at a stadium full of glow sticks and a DJ with a psychedelic raccoon head.
