>WINDY & CARL
>Carl Hultgren has been recording his own guitar pieces since 1992, 
>Windy Weber joined him in 1993. The duo write during the recording 
>process and Carl's mixing process adds layers of effects and 
>distortion to the basic tracks. Windy sings and plays bass, Carl 
>plays the guitar and both play the odd keyboard. Their debut 
>full-length CD was a reissue of their cassette release "Portal," on 
>the Ba Da Bing! label in 1995. "Drawing of Sound" came out in 1996 
>on LP from Blue Flea and on CD from Detroit's Icon label. Their two 
>most recent full-length albums, 1998's "Depths" and 2001's 
>"Consciousness" have been released by Kranky in Chicago. In addition 
>to this, numerous singles and split singles have been released by 
>labels Ochre, Burnt Hair, Enraptured and Darla Records. Windy & Carl 
>often perform live but are rarely on tour and have performed at all 
>four Terrastock Festivals.
>
>In addition to this, the two also run their own label called Blue 
>Flea and their own record store in Dearborn, Michigan called Stormy 
>Records.

>ANTASTEN
>Antasten is a duo comprised of Hannes Loschel and Josef Novotny 
>which sometimes performs with guests, and also as a larger ensemble 
>(up to eight musicians). Antasten blends electronics with piano and 
>chamber music. These contrasting elements both fulfill and disrupt 
>one another, wearing thin, growing rough or lyrical. The pieces 
>begin and end abruptly. They are later lengthened on "Echos an 
>Kegelronden". Real time compositions, they combine two different 
>worlds of sound. "We have tried to banish all taboos in contemporary 
>improvised music, and clarify the inner compatibility of style 
>elements which are otherwise divided."
>
>"Our similar instrumental background, but consequentially different 
>modes of extending our instruments capabilities facilitates play 
>together of a broad ensemble sound without the need of notation of 
>form or structure. These improvisations result in short pieces. 
>"Echos an Kegelronden" furthers the established ideas of the 
>ensemble sound by integrating other musicians and their sound 
>repertoire. Of course, a common basis and the right chemistry must 
>exist." (Hannes Loschel, March 2002)

>PAIK
>Paik's blend of light and sound began in 1997 when guitarist Rob 
>Smith met up with drum & bass duo Ryan Pritts & Ali Clegg at a local 
>bar. All three musicians were unsatisfied with their current 
>projects, and wanted to do something different. Although the three 
>had widely divergent musical backgrounds, they all had the same 
>vision for creating vast soundscapes through simple melodies and 
>harmonics. Each musician, through his or her own personal style, set 
>the mood to the melody, thus creating Paik's uniquely spaced-out 
>sound. Later, light effects were added to the live show to augment 
>the feeling of other worldliness the music inspires.

>"Space-rock couple Windy & Carl blend voice and guitar drones into 
>blissful soundscapes. Fellow Michigan residents Paik bring an 
>evolving light show and simple melodies together under vast 
>harmonics. Touring in support of its debut release "Echos an 
>Kegelranden", Austrian duo Antasten sculpts electronics, piano and 
>chamber music into short, jarring pieces."
