What kind of music do you play?

“What kind of music do you play?”
It’s a common question we often get as musicians. And one that we still struggle to answer. After two decades and eight albums (which often takes the band in a slightly new direction), the idea of squeezing Afenginn into a neat genre box feels increasingly difficult. From the earlier “Bastard Etno” high octane chaos to male choir/brass band situations with an invented languages, calm and cyclical and lyrical chamber works and now long-form movement-music with electronic elements, the music keeps wandering a little bit off track.

This first part of my little genre-rant looks at where we came from, and how it went as it went.
