JC Mendizabal aka Ki-rin / Kyron
"I started playing music about 15 years ago but I still feel like I am barely
starting to explore its infinite possibilities. I believe that the label or category that
is applied to music is unimportant. What matters is the vibration that is awakened in
those who listen."

RFCL aka Radio Free Clear Light
Radio Free Clear Light is a living radio built of human
components for the purpose of tuning into an otherworldly transmission through creative
action. Whether through music, poetry, graphic art, video editing or some discipline in
between, RFCL seeks to abolish the audience, turning them instead into an active element
within the radio. In this way creation is never restricted to an elite few.

Rick Perko aka Vergot
"Well, I was born in a small town about 33 years ago. One day
there was this alien coming down the street....in fact, last night I had a dream about
alien spaceships, spaceships were coming from the sky, but nobody else was seeing the
ships, I don't know how they could have missed them...spaceships and aliens, that sums me
up."

David Collin
A transcendental awakening during an improvisational music session
at 15 made real the true power of music and sound in creating parallel realities. The
influences and exposure to Indian music masters and a chance encounter with Charles Mingus
led to his free improvisational breakthrough utilizing electronic instruments and
multitracked tape collage as a performance tool...

Bret Stidham
"
My goal is to guide the listener
from my own personal tastes and honesty in music to that which trancends and is yet an
integral part of all musical, rhythmic and living structures."

Sean Fenn aka Kreed DuChat
"My name is Kreed DuChat. The term,
'cri du chat' meens 'cry of the cat' in French. The word 'creed' means 'a statement of
religious belief'.
I simply wish to express my mind in the form of this music. By approaching what I do in a
stream- of-consciousness mindset, I contradict nothing. I want to merge with
everything around me."

Douglass Truth
Born in 1953, in Indianapolis, into a family famous for its
mechanics, bricklayers, and lawyers, Douglass was cursed with a heightened sensibility
combined with very poor taste. Remedial education through the years have brought him
up to speed on this very important part of the artist’s toolkit. Artistically
speaking, he has spent much of his life as a writer and short order cook based on the
mistaken impression that he was color blind.
