Three Leg Torso In Concert at St. Mary's By The Sea
3 Leg Torso's sound has been reported as wildly exciting, wildly eclectic, and difficult to describe. A controlled madness performed by the remarkable musicianship of a chamber-gypsy psychedelic beast with punk stage presence. Sometimes brisk, prancing with mad eccentric elegance, other times contemplative but never less than masterful. The group's five members have long been respected as kings of their instruments as well as for their composing skills.
3 Leg Torso formed in 1996 as a violin, accordion, and cello ensemble with the vision of creating original works that are inspired by music and cultures from around the world, including France, Eastern Europe, Argentina and the Middle East.
Since it's inception, 3 Leg Torso expanded into a quintet, adding double bass and assorted percussion instruments including vibraphone, glockenspiel and xylophone. The ensemble has composed and licensed music for filmmakers including Academy Award winning animator Joan Gratz, Morgan Spurlock, Teller (Penn & Teller) Bill Plympton, and National Geographic special about doomsday preppers.
Having arranged their music for full symphony orchestra, 3 Leg Torso has performed successful concerts with the Portland Festival Symphony, the Central Oregon Symphony, Beaverton Symphony and the Pacific Crest Wind Symphony.
3 Leg Torso just finished tracking as special guests on Storm Large'supcoming album.
