Effective period / Period of releases: 2010

Members: Robert Donne, Greg Darden, Jimmy Anthony (4)

The members of Cristal came together in a Richmond, Virginia kitchen over a batch of sangria in 2001. The band members, Jimmy Anthony, Bobby Donne (who is also a member of Labradford), and Greg Darden use a variety of electronic devices, sources, and recording locations to improvise and/or compose. The result has been described as post-structuralist sound collage and can be beautiful, relaxing, chaotic or challenging, sometimes all at once.
