Degenerate Art Ensemble je svojrázny americký mini big-band-garage orchester, ktorý sa okrem hudby preslávil aj multimediálnymi predstaveniami v spojení s pohybovým divadlom. Desaťčlenný súbor zo Seattlu, s dirigentom a skladateľom Joshuom Kohlom a japonskou vokalistkou menom Haruko Nishimara, si vytvoril unikátnu vlastnú poetiku a jeho strhujúce koncerty nabité energiou si získali priazeň poslucháčov i kritikov. S typicky americkou bezstarostnosťou a virtuozitou sa v hudbe DAE miešajú vplyvy jazzu, punku, klasickej hudby i japonských etnických prvkov, aby z nich vznikla originálna zmes. Hudba DAE je drsná, strhujúca, plná vášní. Orchester hrá v nástrojovom obsadení husle, viola, saxofón, trúbka, elektrická gitara, basgitara, bicie a perkusie.

"(DAE) robí a predvádza živú esenciu jedinečnej hudby vyskladanú z prvkov jazzu, punku, blues a postmoderných vplyvov a tak ukazuje akú úloha hrá hudba v dnešnej spoločnosti"
Swing Magazine (New York)

"Tento multimediálny súbor vytvára hudbu presahujúce všetky bežné konvencie … sú to akoby surrealistické príbehy podávané s láskou, silou i humorom."
Berliner Morgenpost
