Decoupage is a quartet made up of myself (trombone and composed music), Mary Halvorson (guitar), Matt Moran (vibraphone) and Satoshi Takieshi (percussion). Mat Maneri has often played with the band as well.

Since January of 2005, I have been composing pieces that are (mostly) quiet by nature but maintain a high level of inner turmoil. Decoupage is an improvising chamber ensemble focused on creating maximum color and texture with minimal musical content.

There are no Decoupage releases at the moment but we hope to record sometime later this year.
