Native NYCer and founder/label manager for the Anticipate and Microcosm labels, Ezekiel Honig concentrates on his idiosyncratic brand of emotively warm electronic-acoustic music. Using the sounds of plastic, metal, wood and air in collaboration with Rhodes, guitar, horns, piano and other instrumental origins, his music is one of contrast and contradiction, combining minimal, abstract tendencies with a core of timeless harmonics – pairing inviting, fuzzy chords with clunky and dirty "mishaps." Honig's live performances push beyond the boundaries of the recorded material with his improvisational approach, which combines loops and elements from various songs with on-the-fly arrangements, editing and effects.

Alexander Kaline is a NY-based musician and sound artist. He began shaping his musical direction in the early 90s, emphasizing his interest in free improvisation, experimental music and sound art. His research is focused on sounds in space as well as algorithmic synthesis events, in particular through live performance. His music explores silence, abstract sounds, acoustic textures and randomized electronic noises in an effort towards free imagination and re-creation. His practice includes building custom instruments, often utilizing unusual techniques to incorporate new and unexpected aspects to live music.

Borne (Scott Vizioli) plays a diverse montage of musical influences, from experimental ambient to minimal techno and all that lies between. A lover of many styles--and the absurdities of everyday life--he enjoys the chance to blend in the unexpected. Across the east coast Borne has spread his unique sound in nooks, crannies, forests and concrete boxes ranging from The Bunker to Imagenode's inflatable blinky bubbles and spaces in between.

Joshue Ott is a multidisciplined media artist and designer. His attentions have been largely devoted to creating superDraw, software intended for live visual performance. Performing with superDraw, Ott bends lines and movements - creating improvised hand drawn forms which rest in a comfortable space between minimalism, psychedelia and curious simplicity. By taking advantage of the immediacy of on the spot art, made outside the computer, and transferred through it, Ott is able to unite the worlds of the physical and digital to make a perfect union of human control and computer fueled chance.
