Heliopause converged in the summer of 2004, when guitarists Graham Duncan, Kevin Matz and Brian Pinke came together in Champaign, Illinois. They started by jamming and improvising with three electric guitars. They thought now and again of adding drums and bass, but over the next year the jams took on a life of their own. Their varied musical backgrounds and tastes brought together a strong sense of rhythm with some far-out guitar experiments, and heliopause was born. Since two members of the band are professional audio engineers, heliopause takes a hands-on role in capturing the magic of the members’ improvisation on disc.
