Michael Ellis is the union of two fabled creatures who perform instrumental excursions to unknown, colorful realms, while dressed in suits and masks. Their music is energetic and grandiose, with inspiration from heavy metal, math rock and game soundtracks.
“I have no idea where to place Ensemble 1 in the great pantheon of Extreme music. No-one can deny that they are an incredibly extreme band, but not with heaviness. Their sheer, bloody-minded vision doesn’t create songs. It creates huge, glittering soundscapes that are shiny and clean and futuristic and streamlined and polished to such a shine that they melt things when sunlight shines directly on them...” – Ever-Metal
