BoxKite: rock-electro-jazz.
BoxKite is the project of Kansas City musician Bob Stewart. This project was started in earnest in 2000 with the expressed desire to explore the colors and forms of jazz and electronic music within the context of indie rock. BoxKite experiments with form rather than without form, as a kind of experimenting traditionalism or a progressive conservatism. BoxKite does not strive to defy or ignore musical boundaries.
