Clarinetist Jacob Lindsay was born, lives, and performs in Oakland, California. Although he works in many genres, he chooses to focus on the continuum following the U.S. free jazz movement spawned in the 60's, moving through European non-idiomatic free-improvisation, and globally into its current incarnations.
Jacob works with the full range of clarinets from Contrabass to Ab Piccolo. He is searching for a robust and earthy sound that leaves all the dirt and rough edges intact, but which is also founded upon a clear pre-fabricated structure. His goal is to elicit a visceral and/or intellectuatl response from the listener, or at least bring them to question his judgement.
Lance Grabmiller straddles the gap between the "avant-garde" and the "electronic". He has played in improvisational groups and has also opened for such notable electronic acts as Kid606, Sagan, Wobbly, Uprock and Meg Lee Chin among others.
Matt Davignon is an experimental musician living in Oakland, California. Since 2004, he has been working almost exclusively with a drum machine. Instead of using it as a rhythm device, he plays the pads manually while processing the sounds through an array of effects devices and samplers, improvising music made of organic-sounding textures, hums, gurgles and crackles.
