Regeneration Cover Round.jpg

SingleCell is an instrumental trio in the Twin Cities that plays improvised pieces with elements of jazz, third stream, avant garde, and experimental music. Because we don't work from structures, plan compositions, or prepare our sets, we never play the same thing twice.


Kevin Rhys, keys and electronics

Aaron Kerr, 5-string electric cello

Derrin Pinto, drums and percussion

"This whole album (Divisible) truly is an adventure from start to finish."

Christa V.
(WCBN, Ann Arbor)

"I will definitely be including many of the selections from [Regeneration] on the show...I was especially interested in reading and learning about your process for improvisation."

Dom
(KXCI, Tucson)

"Sometimes you get together with some other musicians, and everything seems to click, and spontaneity rules."

Phil Nusbaum
(KBEM, Minneapolis)
