Temenos (Greek: τέμενος) is a piece of land cut off and assigned as an official domain, especially to kings and chiefs, or a piece of land marked off from common uses and dedicated to a god, a sanctuary, holy grove or holy precinct.

The symbol of the band is a circle, drawn so thin at times that it appears broken, but remains intact.  The music itself, is circular, always orbiting a common phrase or idea, and returning home.

Temenos takes off from the jazz tradition into heavily improvised lyricism and on-the-fly melodic ideas.

Their live shows represent the idea of The Temenos, a magic circle where spontaneity and creativity can happen.


First studio EP release


Taking insparation from classic jazz albums, four musicians came together to give one to two takes on a few tracks.  All live, all in the same room, a perfect blend of planning and spontaneity.


The album art is a layering of band’s logo. Colors representing the four classical elements and the members themselves.



The band’s first performance was also their first time playing together.  A completely improvised and spontaneous ride.
