Spaceseed
Founded in 1988 in Atlanta Georgia by guitarist John Pack. The
group broke onto the international scene in 2003 when it joined
forces with Charter Hawkwind member Nik Turner. With the release of
it's debut disc Future Cities Of The Past in 2004 the group hit the
road for it's second tour with Nik It also featured the out of this
world synth's of Gal Axxxy. After two tours with Turner the group
found itself paired with another former Hawkwind alumni, synth
legend Harvey Bainbridge who came into the fold in 2005. Spaceseed
has completed 2 U.S. Tours w/ Bainbridge. And recorded a series of
discs. The first of which The Empire Of Night has been released by
Zeta Reticuli Records. Spaceseed is currently in the studio
preparing for the release of two new discs in 2007 once again on
the Zeta Reticuli label. Pick up new cd @ http://cdbaby.com/cd/

Z-Axis
Post-progressive rock; new-edge ambience; psychedelia with a world-
beat flavor; synths, guitars and percussion; funky, frenetic jams;
eclectic instrumental soundtracks to surreal multi-media experiences.

Lid Emba
Prologue:
Circa 1991, a 2:00 a.m. show at CBGB’s with porno-core provocateurs
the impotent seasnakes. Mid-set, Hilly Krystal’s geriatric, Bosch-
type hound squatted in front of the stage and took a pungent dump.
Post-show, I was sucker punched with "you're such an asshole" by
the grizzled soundtech for being older than 22 and still drumming
my ass off in public. Ever since, I've often wondered: Was that
sneering, blowjob hungry casualty actually an all knowing oracle of
truth? If so, then I'm even more of an asshole now.
Delusions of grandeur:
Early in my naivete, I taught myself to hit things with sticks.
Since then, I've played in many bands that history has blissfully
ignored, navigating from graceless garage rituals to mercenary
disco to new romantic brain damage to tight-assed honkie funk to
snooty college-radio fodder, ad nauseam. A few years after leaving
the seasnakes, I formed post-prog unit 3d5spd, contributing
sampling and synths in addition to boom crack boom. The noise that
was rejected kick-started Lid Emba, my "fuck off, I’m an island"
project. 3d5spd evaporated in 2004 after four CDs. Lid Emba became
the new monkey on my back.

Strix Varia
Strix Varia is a fluid collective of musicians who, armed with a
diverse array of musical experiences, life experiences, thought
processes and such, recombine and transmute these experiences into
a viscereal improvisational musical experience.
Starting with not much more than a key, a ryhthm or some skeletal
idea, the ensemble fearlessly builds on the idea resulting in
colorful and oft-times unpredictable improvisational flights that
could include elements of psychedelic rock, jazz, funk, prog-rock
or anything else that comes to mind. Without the constraint of
vocals, Strix Varia finds itself quite free to explore in detail
The ensmble's name is the scientific name of the Barred Owl, a
firece, nocturnal and mysterious bird, a lot like it's namesake's
music.

Shush
The celestial voice of Drolma floats over Mark Baker’s loopy guitar
(both founding members of Bleu Velveta) and Crafty Guitarist David
Smart’s ambient bass, forming Shush, a lush dreamscape of textured
melody. Shush now.
p. d. wilder
p. d. wilder, aka chaos is a texas drone/noise musician; using
acoustic & electric guitars with interspersed samples and
incoherent vocals in an attempt to recreate in an improv setting
the time spent traveling across the uncomfortable calm and urgency
of the vast rolling plains and desert valleys of Texas, through a
philosophy of allowing for a pattern of sound to overtake if not
replace any confinement, attempting to reestablish the listener,
musician, and music itself as the pattern; interconnected.
"if a broom swept the tile floor of a ghost town's back porch, with
infinity in its breadth, it might resemble the sound of this
guitar..." – david caddell, the local.
"expansive soundscapy guitarist with a patient mastery of timbre &
texture, light & shadow" – womblife.
"he creates dense atmospheres, restrained but brimming with
feedback and pulsing guitar drones." – richard di santo, incursion.
"consists of swirling and scratching string manipulations and
percussive patterns, along with a lazy valium laced vocal style
that makes for an interesting marriage of psychedelic and
experimental free-improv elements." – jerry kranitz, aural-
innovations.
"stratospheric post-rock for sad, sensitive wanderers ...
powerfully resonant guitar drones evoke densely textured tracts of
space." – dave segal, alternative press.

Duet For Theremin and Lap Steel, whose name describes its
instrumentation in exactly the way it does not give you the full
spectrum of what sonic sundries they impart, open with rich
textures, swooning collages, and hypnotic pulses, like a warm bath
in the aural abyss.
Tannhauser Gate
Spontaneous synthetic textures. Improvised electronic soundscapes.
Soundtracks to films that don't yet exist. Loops, drones,
sequences, samples, oscillations, modulations, syncopations,
arpeggiations, C-beams glittering in the dark...
Miscellany
May’s Podcast started with some live recordings of The
Subliminator, Team Gina, GFE (playing again May 8th with GKduo),
Bent Frequency (May 20th), Atlanta Poets Group (dedicated radio
show next month, June 3rd), Wilbert de Joode, Peter Brotzmann Trio
and even Amy Ray. We played a field recording of the Eyedrum crew
blowing minds in the annual Inman Park Parade on April 28th. We
then continued with some recordings of Lid Emba, Spaceseed, The
Strix Varia and Z-Axis -- all playing at the May 18th "Outer Space"-
themed show. Todd Nickelson and Nashville Nuns (members of Stovall)
were up next, appearing at the Peter Loose art event on May 12th,
and finally we closed with some industrial noise / percussion by
Z'ev (playing at Eyedrum on May 16th). Another show that was
stylistically all over the musical map. Something for everyone!
Studio guests included Allen Welty-Green, Bryan Dodd and John
Gillett; hosted by Chris Campbell. Download link or Podcast feed.
