NATURE OF ELEMENT

An element is nature's purest, simplest form of unity—the perfect harmony of oneness—able to be freely blended with others to create intricate compositions and finite arrangements and rearrangements.

Element, then, is the name of this combination of musicians, who throughout their presence on earth have yearned to become more than what they are, to be bound with each other and take new form.

Like the Phoenix we have risen from the ashes of a purifying, regenerative fire that has forged our new essence—in which music is the way and the life—without which we could not be.

Under the musical direction of Ara Dabandjian, this group is an elemental unity of spirit and mind.

A mélange of American and Mediterranean folk. With different lives and ways of living. Yet in the studio, we are one—and in our element: Music.

THE MUSIC

Some may describe Element's music as "folk" because it embodies the expressions and traditional sounds of diverse cultures and styles. But the band serves up a compelling combination of melodic rock that's harmoniously partnered with the bold yet warm sounds of the Mediterranean. More still, the fiery and passionate notes of the tango and flamenco waft in and out with pulsing cadences, infusing listeners with an upbeat energy in a way that only Element can.

With arrangements boundless and unhindered, at once complex and elegant—and through the use of live musical instruments—the music is simply pure both in purpose and in delivery. No wonder, then, that Element enthralls listeners of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, and tastes.
