10

Itta and Marqido are two previously solo experimental musicians who paired up in 2005 to create 10. Independently successful, together, they burst through art festivals throughout much of Asia, Europe and parts of United States, gaining recognition as one of the most active and creative bands on the Asian indie scene. They met in Seoul at an international experimental music gathering at Bulgasari and were impressed by each others performances. Itta suggested that they tour together and soon after they formed 10, a name that marks the date they met, October 10th, and also symbolizes their union; 1 represents Itta, or "to be", and 0 represents the first part of Marqido's name, Maru, or "cycle."
