Their compositions weave together diverse traditions, innovation, and inspiration, as well as some mathematical gymnastics.

Driessen’s discography includes an exquisite 27-episode video series and a 13-song recording of collaborations from his international travels during 2019 and 2020, titled Otherlands:ONE. The electric chemistry between these three talented artists will transport the audience on a musical voyage meandering from Appalachia to Ireland, Istanbul, India and back!
