Exploration of sound and innovative collaboration of music is the philosophy behind The Stove. Originally formed in 1997 they emerged onto the scene as G-13, an experimental trip-hop duo, but quickly evolved into something greater. Also, they integrated more elements such as DJ's, MC's and more musicians. Though their name changed, their music remained true to the original concept. Producer Eduard Glukhov envisioned a single cell orchestra.
Created off of hardware, The Stove produces original bass lines and drum patterns that sound very electronic, but then have the ability to lace it with acoustic elements that are very fresh and unique . The Stove is nearly uncatagorizable because their sound ranges from trip-hop to jazz to jungle, ambient and to dub step. Needless to say, they are extremely haunting with hypnotically dark rhythms. Fronted by songstress Kristen Muirhead, The Stove relies on her muse-scream/siren-dream/angel-cream voice with beautifully integrated harmonies to capture the hearts of their listeners. The Stove often features rotating members like Katya Murafa, a classically trained violinist, DJ Drastic, Sam Eye Am, Lojiking and Atash Maya Founder Sabrina Fox. Deeply influenced by Aphex Twin, Portishead, Ninja Tune, Nine Inch Nails, Tori Amos and Bjork. The Stove is an artistically futuristic combination of organic and electronic sounds!!!
