About:

DaviT is a producer and synthesist based in the Netherlands.

He released his debut TRANSISTER - EP on Wic Recordings in April 2018. In 2019 the album Katana ZERO (Original Soundtrack Remixes) released with a remix that he made of Bill Kiley's SILHOUETTE and in october that year did a release called ReWorks, using inspiration from minimalism, electronica and neo-classicism.

Throughout the year he regularly publishes videos of his 5U Modular synth jams on his YouTube Channel.

The first compilation of these jams appeared on an album Patch & Tweak in 2019.

DaviT's experimental and dark electronic music is reminiscent of a film score that creates a sense of melancholy and isolation.

Currently DaviT is working on an second compilation Patch & Tweak performances and he’s preparing to do some live shows, featuring his 5u modular case and tape loops.

About:

Zetsumetsu is a multimedia project between Flutter (Christine Ingaldson) and Zetsumei (Nick Dye) with music as the centerpiece. They conjure up a danceable tug of war between soft and abrasive sounds through the use of their human voices and custom-built synthesizers.

Through their hardcore DIY ethic, they have been restoring a 1986 Road Rescue emergency vehicle to deliver a pop-up experimental dance music experience. This performance from an ambulance is known as Modular on the Rescue (MOTR). Focusing on the concept of impermanence and presence, they capture and release their art while exploring the road less traveled alongside themes of death, memory, nature, and existential struggles.

At home in Racine, WI, they curate and co-host REACT (Racine Electronic Arts Collective Takeover), a quarterly electronic arts event.

About:

Philippe Petit is an artist that fashions his musical works to paint a musical tapestry similar to Lewis Carroll creating a wonderland where nothing is as it would seem.

Philippe's goal is to take the listener on a 'magical mystery ride'. He places great importance on movement and gesture in composition, and by recording his modular systems in a single, take he keeps sessions spontaneous and visceral! Philippe primarily works with the Buchla Easel K, Synthi A and GRP A4 as an ensemble, and processes them with GRM Tools, Guitar amps & pedals. This demands a ton of preparation, but the results are with it.

Philippe has performed across the world, playing festivals all over Europe, North America, Asia, Mexico, and Australia. He has recorded with such artists as Lydia Lunch, Murcof, The European Contemporary Orchestra (E.C.O.), Mark Cunningham (MARS), Cindytalk, Orkest De Ereprijs,  Audrey Chen, Mia Zabelka, Iancu Dumitrescu's Hyperion Ensemble, Stephen O'Malley, Yannick Barman, PAS/Faust.

In addition, Philippe has recorded for labels such Aagoo, Southern UK, Monotype, Bölt, Alrealon Musique, Beta Lactam Ring, Sub Rosa, HomeNormal, Important, HelloSquare, Public Eyesore, Utech, Staubgold, and more.


Switching up speeds, Philippe is also a journalist and a musical activist Philippe has contributed various magazines/radios since 1983. He was also the man behind the cult labels Pandemonium Rdz. and BiP_HOp devoted to Contemporary Electronica, and currently runs the webzine, Modulisme.

All the tracks are unreleased, experiments, outtakes of components that made some of Come, Deathless. Recorded live as a 2-bus into the computer with hopes of it being fleshed out. Unfortunately, these were excommunicated and branded as heretics.
