FORMA is a trio formed in 2010 in Brooklyn, NY, currently consisting of members Mark Dwinell, George Bennett and John Also Bennett.

FORMA’s mixture of minimalism, ambient explorations, kosmische, and frenetic rhythm has captivated the international experimental music community since their 2011 self-titled debut on John Elliott’s influential Spectrum Spools label.

Following 2012’s darker OFF/ON, the trio stepped onto the perimeter of the dance floor with their Cool Haptics EP (2014) on The Bunker New York.

Physicalist (2016) and Semblance (2018), their two most recent LPs for Kranky, mark a shift in a new direction for the group – their first recordings to utilize acoustic instrumentation alongside their formidable electronic arsenal. FORMA’s celebrated live performances – extended, often improvisational journeys using an interconnected array of modular synthesizers and acoustic sounds – draw a wide range of synth, noise, ambient and dance music devotees into their realm.
