Joe Foster came to Seoul in 2002 from Portland, Oregon, where he had been playing for a million years with JP Jenkins, Bryan Eubanks, Peevish, Super Unity and everybody else in that bubbling musical underbelly. Joe Foster plays trumpet, electronics, and non-instruments. Bonnie Jones was born in South Korea in 1977 and until recently her work has focused largely on text and performance. However, a recent trip back to Korea introduced her to the digital delay pedal and circuit bending. For the last year she has been collaborating with Korean musicians. Bonnie B. Jones plays digital delay pedal, flute, microphones.
The Skaters -
Thaumaturgy writes "keening vocals, embedded drones, electronic whine, intermittent tattoos of one-handed percussion, slashes of autoharp, and other unidentifiable voices that work in tandem to produce synesthesiac arrest. ...a disturbing pseudo-ethnographic foray straight out of Lovecraft. Are the Skaters worshippers of the Fungi from Yuggoth? At the very least they ingested it before recording this track, where drums, autoharp, and other instruments play out a pageant of possession over a sickly tapestry of screams and chants.”

Matt Davignon is an experimental musician living in Oakland, California. Since 1993, he has developed his own unique style of music, which focuses largely on textures, arrhythmic patterns and musical imperfections. Since 2004, he has been working almost exclusively with a drum machine, run through a series of effects and samplers. Drawing from what he's learned in his previous work in sound collage, field recordings, found objects and prepared instruments, he creates an organic array of drones, gurgles and frantic passages.
