The band was founded originally by composer-double bassist Simon Chung, drummer Daniel Gélinas and pianist Martin Courchesne as a trio. Growing over time along the music, this full ensemble formation was established in the summer of 2010 under the previous band name “serial-numbers”.  In 2012 they became XiFu Sagas.
