SKYHOOK www.azurisaurum.com The Skyhook sound is an ever-evolving mesh of funk-folk-soul-metal-electronic a-inspired sounds. Improvisation lies at the heart of the Skyhook ideal, as the Jazz language is what sits on the unifying throne of stylistic measure. Skyhook is at once powerful, raw, groovalicious, experimental, and sincere. Originally conceived in Montreal by Mikael Tobias of touring jazz-fusion group Azuris Aurum. Skyhook is an attempt to incorporate electronics and danceable grooves seamlessly into a heady instrumental context where sonic playfulness and interaction still reign.
