Mysterious Descent (2015-)
BC (piano, percussion, voice, compositions), David Katz (voice, percussion), Mia Bella D'Augelli (violin, percussion, voice), Nava Dunkelman (percussion, voice)
Mysterious Descent is a mythodramatic song cycle based on the extant texts of the Idnat Ikh-ôhintsôsh. Structured in twelve movements, dynamic music intersects with poetry and theatre, narrating the volatile and absurd descent into the darkness of the Self. Improvisation and performative virtuosity energize tightly structured compositions in a series of quasi-mystical tableaux.

Quattuor Elephantis (2013-2015)
BC (electric keyboard, compositions), Robert Lopez (drums), Mateo Lugo (electric guitar), and Scott Siler (vibes/percussion)
Quattuor Elephantis represents an intelligible entirety, dynamic and volatile, perceived through the kaleidoscopic effluence of the Four Cosmic Pillars. A brew of primeval energy is parsed and made available for consumption. Four musicians navigating constructed worlds. Psychic debris accumulates in corners of sound-space and crystallizes into intricate compositional/improvisational structures. Creation appears to organize itself, only to return once again to the Void.
