SLOW SLOW LORIS is a duo whose industrial noise melodies merge with visceral avant-garde to create epic and delicate storms of sound that worship the unknown, a sonic sorcery through voice and electronics. Based in both Berlin and the US, they have released albums on Cloister Recordings, Zaetraom, & Staaltape and have toured Europe, Russia, and the USA.

HEAVY PAUSES is the sonic amalgamation of members of St. Louis, MO noise/rock/noise rock bands THE CONFORMISTS, BRAIN TRANSPLANT and SKAREKRAURADIO. Dense and heavy drone. Split cassette with DEATH PYRE out now on Birdeater Entertainment.

SOUNDOFERROR is Daniel Burke & synthesizers. Dan has been the founding member of the project Illusion of Safety since 1983. He is also currently working in an improv trio with Chicago musicians Erik Sowa & Jeb Bishop as Interim Assassin, in an ambient project, Twilight Furniture, and in singer-songwriter mode as Daniel James Burke. He has collaborated with Jim O’Rourke, Darin Gray, Kevin Drumm, Thomas Dimuzio, Jon Mueller, & Olivia Block, et. al. With SOUNDOFERROR he is focused on making music exclusively with synthesis of every kind. Hardware, software, modular, & keys. Any form is fair game, though the forms usually tend toward the abstract and experimental. Early influence was Morton Subotnick & Wendy Carlos, then later Brian Eno, Tim Blake, Steve Hillage, COSMIC JOKERS, Klaus Schultz & CLUSTER helped form his appreciation for this tool of modern magic.

DEATH PYRE is the combination of the St. Louis, MO/Chicago, IL avant goth duo AMPYRE and the Chicago, IL post-industrial/noise unit DEATH FACTORY. They have a trilogy of albums that were recorded in one day at Chicago's Experimental Sound Studio available on labels No Sides Records, Eh? Tapes and Bent Window Records.

ANIMAL TALKING SCHOOL is the solo electronic music project of Richard Syska (SECRET MEANS OF ESCAPE, 312 Films). ATS's music weaves a sonic tapestry of carefully curated sound sources, field recordings and manipulations which strive to challenge the listener both compositionally and sonically. The music immerses audiences in an evocative sonic landscape that can be at various times mysterious, foreboding, aggressive and alien, while at other moments comforting, familiar and relaxed.
