Biography:

Stendhal is a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania based four piece experimental rock band that combines rock and roll sensibility, with a cinematic quality. An appreciation of film scores and sound tracks is apparent in both their more traditional songs, as well as the improvised pieces which are a staple of the band’s shows. Influenced by bands like Goblin, Tangerine Dream, and Pink Floyd, Stendhal is able to create moods and ambience for film and video, as well as for the stage.

In addition to providing ample selection from their several CD releases the band has a professional analog 16-track studio at the ready, and is able to deliver high quality original music and recordings created specifically for any project.
