Their performances are noted for their energetic delivery and exploration of diverse sonic textures.

Villa Augustus is a former convent built in 1897, originally serving as a home for the Sisters of the Holy Infancy. Following decades of religious use, the building was repurposed in 2006 and now functions as a design agency, hotel, and cultural venue. The architecture retains significant historical elements alongside modern design interventions. The grounds include extensive gardens and offer a unique atmosphere for events. The villa’s location on Dordrecht’s historical island provides a setting steeped in the city’s maritime past. It has become known for hosting intimate concerts and exhibitions focusing on art, design, and music that complement its distinctive environment. The building itself is a designated national monument (Rijksmonument).
