*2025 stock* Ism is more than just a group—it is a living dialogue of unique artistic voices, each member contributing a distinct creative force that shapes the ensemble’s sound.  

At the heart of Ism lies a remarkable balance of individuality and collective energy. Fred’s methodical approach to melody grounds the music with thoughtful clarity, creating a framework where ideas can unfold. Ed Wilkerson’s relentless dynamism adds a vigorous spark, driving the music forward with boundless intensity. Jim brings an uncanny sense of surprise, constantly subverting expectations and pushing the music into new, uncharted territory. Anchoring it all, Avreeayl’s inescapable rhythm weaves through every moment—shaping textured explorations, propulsive grooves, and cascading bursts of improvisation.  

With this synergy, Ism embodies the spirit of fearless collaboration. Their sound is not confined by tradition nor bound by genre—it thrives in the spaces between, where innovation and intuition meet. Each performance is at once unpredictable and deeply interconnected, reflecting the group’s bold commitment to discovery.
