Why this name?
Equinox means That day and night are equal in time
so is balance of darkness and light...a sort of Planetary Harmony.
The Planet Venus symbolizes love. We wish to help spread love though our music. We promote planetary harmony though ethereal world music by showing the world that intruments can harmonize so Why can't people??

Do you play live?
We have had the honor of sharing the night acts as Babylonian Tiles, and Rasputina.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
for the better!!
Music is so much better on the net.
Not so many Pre-Fab Groups/people.
I think people spent more time in front of their computers these days ..so it is a logical transition.
