ABOUT

◆ THE DOCTRINE ◆

THE METALLIQUES formed when a handful of people who could not sit still in quiet rooms found one another. We are not the first to notice that a loud enough sound rearranges you. We may be the first to build a practice around it and refuse to apologise.

The name is old French for the metallic ones. We took it because it is what we intend to become: harder, brighter, ringing rather than dull. Every recording is a casting. Every Galvanization is a strike of the hammer.
