-------

After a year of composing, six months of editing, mixing and mastering, Dissonant Histories is finally set to release it's debut album. The self titled album will be available online (www.dissonanthistories.com) and in select stores February 18th.



DISSONANT HISTORIES is an octet of clashing, dismembered musical styles.  Recklessly colliding jazz, hiphop, indie rock and classical music, the ensemble creates a voiceless entity that laments its tormented past.

DISSONANT HISTORIES is an idea by Olivier Clements.
