Drobka/Willis: Soft Alarm

photos by Wilhelm Matthies

This duo is a coming together of explorers. Devin Drobka (Hanging Hearts) and Ben Willis (Saajtak, Lovely Socialite) are both accomplished improvisers with origins in the midwest United States. Their collaborative works span folk musics, doom metal, jazz, and chamber music. Despite their broad range of focus, they both always devote themselves to making music that is human, experiential, and intimate. In an improvised duo setting, they plumb the depths of gentle intensity, making music that is soft and extreme.
