String Theory combines the refined elegance of classical music, the clear mood of modern ambient, and the raw energy of rock & roll into a performance experience that is as inspiring as it is unique. The music is designed to engage and entice the listener/audience member to take a sonic journey to places previously unexplored. The invented instruments are the visual and sonic point of departure, and the accompanying instruments transition from support to focal roles as the pieces unfold. Traditional instrumentation such as cello, violin, voice, guitar, bass, percussion, sampler and drums round out the multifaceted sonic line up. Each band member brings different ideas and aesthetics into the mix, culminating in truly enthralling music.

This piece is a modern take on a 15th century piece entitled Tres Morillas - composer unknown. The original text for that piece is as follows:

TRES MORILLAS ME ENAMORAN EN JAÉN,
 
AXA Y FÁTIMA Y MARIÉN.
 
TRES MORILLAS TAN GARRIDAS
IBAN A COGER OLIVAS,
Y HALLÁBANLAS COGIDAS EN JAÉN,
AXA Y FÁTIMA Y MARIÉN.
 
Y HALLÁBANLAS COGIDAS,
Y TORNABAN DESMAÍDAS
Y LAS COLORES PERDIDAS EN JAÉN,
AXA Y FÁTIMA Y MARIÉN.
 
TRES MORICAS TAN LOZANAS,
TRES MORICAS TAN LOZANAS,
IBAN A COGER MANZANAS A JAÉN,
AXA Y FÁTIMA Y MARIÉN.
