​Stefan Riccio played guitar in 'How to Tell yourself from a Television', a local band who grew and moved off to Brighton​​. When he came back to the island he formed 'Noah forgot the Dinosaurs' and most recently '​Schilacci'.
​
Having played in a number of local bands on trombone (Soul Doubt, The Elvis J Healey band & the Wizard and the Frog), it wasn't until about 2006 that Dominic Pallot started composing his own music, mostly using computers, synthesizers and guitar. He started a band with his brother Luc and they called themselves 'Brobots!'
Over the summer of 2012 Dominic played synthesizer and Stefan played Guitar/Bass in their friend Gavin's band 'The Gaa Gaas'.
​
Dominic and Stefan met up in the winter to have a jam. They both found the had an appreciation for loop based music that facilitates timbre to create soundscapes, as opposed to more traditional rock music with rigid chorus & verse structures.
​
They devised their own way to both play and build layers using 2 loop stations, bass, guitar, trombone and a modified Casio VL-tone. They also use a variety of other instruments when recording including zither, mandolin, indian drone box and anything else they can get their hands on.
