AERONAUT is Brooklyn-based composer and multi-instrumentalist Steve Fors' solo project. Working primarily with a palette of sounds generated with trombone, lap steel guitar, sonica, analog electronics, bowed metal and voice, Fors crafts lush, immersive soundscapes. Having released six albums in as many years, Fors continues to challenge genre definition. Pulling from psych, drone, noise, and new classical traditions, he plays a sort of maximal minimalism—overwhelming listeners with monolithic beauty and sonic devastation. http://soundcloud.com/aeronaut4

PATRICK TODD is a sound artist who works primarily with electronic noises to create compositions that border the familiar worlds of ambient atmospheric music and specific events more akin to Foley artists. He explores the various textural qualities that are specific to granular synthesizers and are usually relegated to our modern age background soundscape by bringing them forward and putting them into order. Coming from a visual background with a Masters Degree in Fine Art, installation. He is acutely aware of the power in sound to alter our perceptions of the world around us. He has been working in New York for 15 years as an artist and organizing events, most notably "Flow" in collaboration with Jeremy Slater, an event that explores the noisier elements in sound.http://patricktodd.net/ http://genux-b.bandcamp.com/
