The quartet's musical style is hard to describe, containing elements of experimental jazz, pop, folk and abstract music. The "twin" clarinets combine with the voice and electronics to create a unique soundscape[3] characterized by extensive use of pauses, long notes, harmonic singing and dissonant tonal clusters.[4]
