The Tronic was formed in 2008 by Gregg Jarvis aka Gj-Rvus and Thomas Bell aka ADDj as an improvisational live jazz-tronic band w/ DJ sensibilities and instrumental proficiency. Their unique approach to improvisation blurs the lines between the live musician, composer and dj. The unit begins improvising then loops real, virtual, circuit bent toys and homemade instruments in real time. They then mix and manipulate the loops and improvise layers on top of the spontaneous composition . Anything from serene beauty, viscious groove to stumbling chaoss may occur - anytime. The Tronic is truly a foward-thinking modern jazz ensemble
Gregg Jarvis is a drummer, percussionist and sonic composer from the NYC/Hudson Valley area. Thomas Bell is a bassist, composer artist and gallery owner in Brooklyn.
