<why> LA-based James Shaffer and Atlanta-based Chris Hunt converged
in early 2022 in Downtown Los Angeles while working on songs for singer
Xhoana X. Their kindred interest and backgrounds in dramatic texture,
electronics and experimentation inspired an improvisation-based recording
process which seeks to explore a sonic universe defined by evolving
atmosphere, cinematic noise and select collaborations with other artists.

<why.2> “(in our mind) is a **collision of puzzles** combining towards
a unified assembly of the ecstatic abyss, a nested sensitivity within the
intensity programmed in the fleeting final seconds of a deadly, perfect,
alien thing before being destroyed”
