THE DECONSTRUCTION OF MUSIC Spanning over a decade of live performance and recording, SKIZM is a collaboration between guitarist G.M. Birtwhistle, vocalist Heidi Bower (Portland Opera) and drummer Kris Kwiatkowski (Colorshow). Concept: no songs, no rehearsals, no lyrics, no melody, no tuning, no rhythm, no repetition. The result has been described by critics as ?aggressively ambient, free jazz neo-metal.
