Also, always eat your fruits and vegetables. :) ...

  • An audible amalgamation is spawned from the minds and work of Matthew Ryan Surline (MRS) and Walken Schweigert in their music ensemble Crune that unites the aesthetics of Baroque and Disco into an immersive listening and entertainment experience.
