It was originally an outlet for Amar's solo work until it expanded drastically with the inclusion of seven members and a number of additional side personnel.

Having moved to New York in 1985, Amar had already built a reputation on the scene for working under producer Roli Mosimann and engineering albums for Celtic Frost, That Petrol Emotion and The Young Gods.

[2] Amar wanted to perform in a live setting so she enlisted the help of violinist April Chung of Motherhead Bug, drummer Yuval Gabay of Soul Coughing and bassist Adam Nodelman of Missing Foundation.

[3] In 1994 the ensemble entered the studio to record "Water Song" and "Nova Sangre" and released the music as a single.

At this point the band had been expanded to include Michele Amar, April Chung, Jim Colarusso, Tony Corsano, Yuval Gabay, Nick Heathen, Shoyo Iida and Tokie Koyama.
