The group performs pieces composed and improvised by Andrea Parkins (on el. accordion & laptop electronics), Hans on guitar and electronics, as well as French musicians Didier Petit on cello and Edward Perraud on drums, percussion and analog electronics. IRIS will be touring in the US immediately following a recording date and concert tour in France, which will include a performance at Radio France.
