Laces - Laces is a signal processing duo using voice and dulcimer, also incorporating guitar, harp, and kalimba. Sarah Elena Palmer (SEP) and Ellery Royston both studied electronic music and composition at Mills College. SEP also plays pop music with EFFT, and Ellery is a member of the Sexy Ultimatum All Star Society. Laces' music is informed by improvisation, knitting, and a variety of cosmic jokes.

Arachnid Arcade - minimal circus of ritualistic errors, manifested primarily via two humans, electronics and a million tiny lights. Air conditioned hum, conditioned by conditions humming in the air.

Leif Shackelford - Explorations of cybernetics, primarily focusing on the interactions between viola, film and electronics, corralled by the manipulations of one golden child from the rifts of the central valleys. Mercurial songbirds sing songs of space travel as ghost hoods ride the whip bloody in caves filled with dovesong.
