As "Odr custom", they started to build some design and ethnical instruments and to give some recycled instrument making workshops together. For 2 years, they were on the journey to Asia, which was trying to find their musical way on the road and ended in Japan. Right away they continue to produce their instruments in Japan and at the same time they learn how to build "shakuhachi" (traditional Japanese flute).
