Chuck van Zyl - Philadelphia area Spacemusician Chuck van Zyl, best known as host of STAR'S END(WXPN's renowned radio program of spacemusic dreamscapes) and as coordinator of The Gatherings(Philadelphia's premiere concert series of innovative music), Chuck van Zyl has also been making his own unique style of electronic music since 1983.
Over the course of his musical existence Chuck van Zyl has developed a signature exploratory style. By blending the primitive machine beauty of classics like "Ricochet" (1975) by Tangerine Dream with the highly formed values of more recent groups such as Redshift and Arc, his solo studio works are the result of a persistent creativity.
With a solid melodic invention, atmospheric modulations and heroic shifts in tonality, van Zyl masterfully realizes the fascinating patterns, riffs and pulses that dominate his live concerts. As the music forms, climbs and sustains, listeners are pulled into a highly distinctive mindscape. Tone patterns weave and collide as go-for-broke keyboard lead lines dance high above - all the while blissed-out synthetic strings and Mellotron choirs draw long lines across a cool digital plane.
Chuck van Zyl is completely at home in this endlessly inventive genre, offering ample muscle for the adventurous, archaic modulations for the experimentalist and dreamy floating space for the cloudwalker.

Guitar Pilots is an electronic space music duo featuring guitarists Art Cohen and Scott Watkins. Their music consists of long structured improvisational pieces which transport the listener to the depths of space while focusing on each precious unfolding moment. Art's sequencer-like echoed guitar figures provide rhythmic propulsion while Scott's synthetic pads and sub-octave rumblings build a foundation for both guitarists to soar in melodic flights. Singing glissando blends seamlessly with plucks and twangs and blasts of interstellar beam. Following the trail blazed by Pink Floyd, The Grateful Dead, and the Berlin School, Guitar Pilots carve out their own unique sonic territory that is both organic as the ground underneath and as far-reaching as a distant pulsar.Art Cohen has been a fixture in the Philadelphia music scene for over 30 years as both a performer and an audio engineer. Fluent in guitar, bass, keyboards and harmonica, he has performed at concert venues and radio studios throughout the Delaware Valley and brought his music to Toronto, New York and other cities in the Northeast. He has released CD's with The Ministry of Inside Things, Delicate Monster, CubiZm, Lessick & Lincoln & Cohen, Waves of Violet, Men from When, and as a solo artist. His music ranges from electronic space to ambient to folk-rock to psychedelic rock to traditional folk to experimental to spoken word and beyond - sometimes within the same performance. Art has cultivated a unique guitar style drawing on influences including Garcia, Gilmour, Hendrix, Gottsching, Fripp, and Pinhas. Scott Watkins is best known as the guitar half of Orbital Decay, the Philadelphia area synth & guitar duo who over the past couple of decades have graced the stages of all the region's important electronic space music venues. He coaxes an extended pallet of sounds from his guitar through the use of synths and modelling processors. He has built many of his own instruments including an other-worldly sounding 12-foot beam. Echoes of Gilmour, Hendrix and Froese can be heard in Scott's textural and melodic playing.
Ombient (a conjunction of the Hindu Mantra "Om" and the word Ambient) is the moniker under which Mike Hunter performs his Ambient/Drone/Berlin School/Experimental music.

Playfulness, Respect, Honesty and Hope - My art is about instinct. Whatever disciplinary boundaries I cross are irrelevant to me. I know what I like and I go there trusting that what fascinates me is, in fact, fascinating.
My art springs from that same playful part of myself that compels me to build sand castles on a beach. Art world angst, which I've always found alienating, is neither my approach nor my goal. Ephemeral art made from readily available materials, improvised music on homemade instruments, and spectacles of buffoonery in the service of magical transformation are my goals.
I am constructing an alternate reality the way a small boy builds a model train layout. I reuse cast-off wood, plastic, metal and rubber junk and glue it all together using instructions from inner sources, a reflection of natural form, and a homage to tribal art.
I don't seek to replicate reality but rather to create a real emotional sense through gesture.
I observe the human condition and report back my findings. These reports take the form of expressive vignettes and autobiographical stories from my life. For convenience I have come to call what I do, Performance Art. A ten year old boy viewing my performance put it this way, "Don't be afraid, he's just a sacred clown"
Clowning, theater, poetic writing, animal noises, techno-primitive costumes, and improvised music, are elements that I use --but I blur the boundaries and exist across boundaries. My work is an opportunity to expand the possibility of what is possible rather than a continuation of a venerable tradition.
I make good-natured art based on my varied interests: philosophy, science, religion, myth, culture, how the brain works, film, primitive art, evolution, drugs, sex, and technological change. The world is full to the brim with greed, fear, hatred and avarice - I don't want to add to that. My message is, "Do what you love to the fullest , trust yourself, honor life and Laugh, its good for you." -- Quentin Davisv- a.k.a. The Great Quentin
Neil Feather - Sound Mechanic Neil Feather has been creating radical and unusual musical instruments for thirty years, and is increasingly known outside of Baltimore as one of the most original musical thinkers of his day. His instruments each embody uniquely clever acoustic and engineering principles, and are visually arresting. The music he plays on the instruments is equally original, embodying new principles and resulting in a nearly alien idiom of music. A founding member of THUS and THE OFFICIAL PROJECT, as well as the leader of AEROTRAIN, he has a long history of collaborative projects and solo concerts.

Bill will be joined on stage by two guest musicians, John Whitney and Mike Hunter (aka Ombient)
The Melting Transistor - Formed in 2012, The Melting Transistor is a trio from the industrial swampland of central New Jersey/eastern Pennsylvania that concocts completely improvised electronic music. The group consists of Juan Garces (synthesizers, electronics), Floyd Bledsoe (synthesizers, electronics) and Karl Fury (stringed instruments, laptop). The music is primarily generated with no prior planning but often sounds intricately composed. Middle eastern melodies mixing alongside of deep space electronics, bluesy slide and soaring rock guitar, exotic grooves, and avant-garde elements all add up to The Melting Transistor.
Brainstatik - New Jersey-based Brainstatik is best known for our mostly-improvised live concerts, where they perform long-form jams combining ambient, world, progressive rock, and space music, liberally shifting and mixing genres within each piece.
Every song is a spontaneous exploration of diverse musical themes, with little thought or planning beforehand, so Brainstatik always sounds completely different each time we play.
Brainstatik has been together for 20 years and performs smaller shows in galleries as a duo or trio, or in larger concerts with the current full lineup of four members. Everyone in Brainstatik is a certified electronic gear junkie, each choosing from a huge sonic palette from which to make sounds.
Armed with this complex musical toybox, guitars can sound like drums, keyboards can make guitar sounds, and drums can play keyboards, which often can confound audience members (and sound engineers) who can't quite tell who's playing what part.
Brainstatik's current lineup of multi-instrumentalists includes founding member Ken Palmer, along with Mike Hunter, Glenn Robitaille and Jim Silvestri. Michael Courter will be joining us on the guitar.
The music heard at their shows is always organic, with each piece constantly evolving and morphing into something new. Brainstatik can sound ethereal and quiet, complex and orchestral, or experimental and edgy. The resulting performances often sound rehearsed and composed.
The risk of a creative "train wreck" is always there, but the members of Brainstatik thrive on taking our music right to the edge every time we perform.
Hydraheart - Hydraheart is the new solo project of Megan Cauley.B For 10 years she was the primary songwriter, singer, guitarist and noise maker for Gemini Wolf. She recorded four albums and performed regularly in Philadelphia and New York with Gemini Wolf, along with an east coast and European tour.

Neil Alexander - Jazz pianist, synthesist, and composer, Neil Alexander, began performing and composing in 1974. Always the type of musician who thrives on variety, Neil continues involvement with all manner of projects including: acoustic & electric jazz groups, contemporary classical performances, composing for Modern Dance & theater (since 1984), and various Tribute groups including "The Machine" (Pink Floyd Tribute, 1996 - 2006), "The Mahavishnu Project" (since 2008) and most recently, "Mr. Gone", focusing on the music of jazz giants "Weather Report" & Herbie Hancock's "Headhunters". For 15 years, from 1996 - 2011, he performed with his contemporary electric/acoustic jazz ensemble, NAIL, releasing their most recent CD "Tugging At The Infinite" in 2007. This marked Neil's 4th CD as bandleader. In 2013, Neil realized his long-standing dream of recording a solo piano CD, "Darn That Dream: Solo Piano Vol. 1", an artistic and critical success.
An additional aspect of Neil's music is his long-standing relationship with electronic instruments, primarily synthesizers. He acquired his first synth in 1978 and never looked back, making those sounds a part of his extensive musical vocabulary. He frequently performs solo in an all-electronic context, incorporating this into a jazz & classical based improvisational format. In search of better ways to realize music quickly, Neil began using Ableton LIVE software. In 2012, he started the Ableton Hudson Valley Users Group, and teaches workshops at the local Library in Newburgh NY.
Neil realized there is serious interest in this format after attending the 2012 Electro-Music Festival in Huguenot, NY where he crossed paths with dozens of like-minded performers & composers. He returned in 2013 and 2014, performed multiple times at each festival, engaged in various collaborations, and directed a workshop in generative music, illustrating techniques he developed playing for the Modern Dance classes he's been working in since 1982.
Neil continues to search for new connections in music, combining jazz, classical, fusion, ambient, and electronic styles, into very personal hybrid music. He has 2 more CD's slated for release - a Live NAIL CD recorded in NYC in 2007, and his first solo, all electronic CD, entitled "Nailgun". Other current projects include "Le Jazz Electronique", "Thunderhead Organ Trio", and "Scene ReSeen" (live electronic music for Silent Films). Visit his website at http://nailmusic.com to see his performance schedule and to learn more about his various projects.

George Wallace - In live performance, multi-instrumentalist George Wallace presents a dazzling array of wondrous, imaginatively crafted soundscapes bound to delight fans of deep ambient, techno-tribal, and spacemusic.George is a seasoned performer, having spent years with bands playing various permutations of rock, jazz, and popular music. But for the past few years he's been on hiatus from playing out, mainly producing studio recordings of his own compositions, with recent forays into making music for film and television.He has recently risen to the challenge of engineering a way to deliver his particular brand of ambient music - inherently layered and complex - in such a way that its live performance is faithful to the sonic dimension and depth of the recorded version. During the course of a given set (anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours, depending) audiences will experience something akin to hypnosis as our senses are immersed in music fed by George's fierce, spontaneous inspiration and tempered with his keen feel for rhythmic and dramatic flow.In addition to the synthesizers he plays onstage, George uses guitars both acoustic and electric, Native American flutes, rainsticks, bells and rattlers, and even a Tibetan singing bowl to round out the sonic palette. His musical program consists of pieces both old and new; a few older favorites culled from his several ambient releases are woven in with newer, as-yet unrecorded pieces, most of which are essentially structured improvisations based on predetermined soundstages, the end result being that no two performances are exactly alike. Naturally this calls up a certain amount of audience engagement (and lots of fun for all) as George often says he likes to read – and get energy from – the audience he's playing for. Adding to the mix is his occasional blending of natural ambiences such as forest sounds, night sounds, wind…and a few which might be best described as unearthly. These aural treats serve as the 'ear candy' which help to put the whole thing over-the-top.Despite his
affable stage demeanor, the intensity of the music itself makes it evident that George likes to play deep. Through his magical musings, we are invited to discover a new access to our true Selves, from the deepest regions of our souls to the ecstatic, sublime worlds of our highest potential. Presented here is wild, enriched sound, simultaneously borrowing from the primal past and the celestial future, creating an inspiring, cleansing, memorable experience of exotic places and times well beyond this one.'…go as deep as you can go…'
Chuck Van Zyl - Best known as host of STAR'S END (WXPN's renowned radio program ofspacemusic dreamscapes) and as coordinator of The Gatherings(Philadelphia's premiere concert series of innovative music), Chuckvan Zyl has also been making his own unique style of electronic musicsince 1983.

Richard Marcus - Richard Marcus has been designing electronic music for personal expression, movement theater and film for many years both locally and abroad. His current structured improvised work is formed using pressure sensitive rubber pads, sampled bowls, gongs, bells, textured synthesizers and melodic percussion, influenced by the expressive nature of Eastern and Asian cultures. Also there is another side, "The Balance". Working with the "Haken Continuum" a three dimensional midi controller, a new fresh approach to synthesis has opened new worlds and ways to get very deep into the dark side of sound and expression.
The Great Quentini - Quentin Davis is The Great Quentini. He is a sculptor and a performance artist who makes his costumes and musical sculptures out of found materials. He has shows in which he wears costumes, plays these musical sculptures, and tells humorous stories; acting out the parts that defy words. These stories are often from his life experience.

Jeff Carey makes hardcore digital noise music with a joystick a gamer keypad and an array of strobe lights. Computer based synthesis, noise, and improvisation combined with a no-safety-net aspect of gestural control makes his music totally physical and visceral. No overdubs and no backing vocals.
"He's acting on raw instinct here - he refuses the clinical approach to programming software or composing music, and strives to throw himself bodily at his machines, replacing all mechanical moving parts with human flesh, blood, and bone. In pursuit of this all-organic goal, virtually everything else is jettisoned, starting with recognisable notes or melody." -- Ed Pinsent, Sound Projector on "Impulse"
Carey studied Audio Technology at American University (1994) and computer music at the Institute for Sonology (2002). He as been honored with awards from the Maryland State Arts Council for non-classical music composition and the National Endowment for the Arts via DC Commission for the Arts and Humanities. His acousmatic and electro-acoustic works with the N-Collective have been featured in festivals in the US, Europe, and Scandinavia. He has released a number of CDs and records as 87 central (Staalplaat, JDK Productions, Universal), Office-R(6) (Lampse, +3DB), SKIF++ (Fridgesounds, LINE/12k), under his own name (CWnil, Banned Production, IO Sound) and with MoHa! (Jeff Carey's MoHa! 7" on Rune Gramophone).
Hallowed Bells - Philadelphia-based duo Hallowed Bells is the project of two experienced musiciansfully immersing themselves in the world of electronic music for the first time.B When Alison Stout and Darian Scatton began collaborating in 2013, creating detailed compositions suffused with rich dissonances and metrical turns inspired by Modernist music, they found themselves increasingly enchanted by the infinite orchestrational possibilities of electronic sound. They became determined to understand both the synthesis of sounds and the creation of synth circuits and dove headfirst into synthesizing sounds and building synthesizers fro scratch.B Now, they play their richly layered music using an all-hardware setup dominated by analog synths and organs.B Their sound is reminiscent of the synth orchestrators of the 1970s, interspersed with organic beats, improvised noise and fathomless dark ambient textures.
Michael Rabito is a musician that has been discovering his propensity for the fusion of opposites for many years now. He started taking the electric guitar seriously when he was eleven and was playing out professionally by the time he left for college with his band in Vermont. After a move to Boston the bringing together of the free flow of improvisation and the rigidity of structure increased as he played with a group of Berklee College of Music musicians for about five years. During this time his interest in loops, synthesizers and keyboards began to grow and helped to fuse space, harmony, action and dissonance. This has all culminated with his latest project back in the Princeton area called Manifested; A progressive fusion of funk, rock, dance and ambient music that has brought the group to New York, Boston, Philadelphia and many points between and beyond. They can be heardB hereB with more information at their facebook page. Michael also performs interactive ambient space music thatB can be heard on the AutonomicDrone soundcloud page.
Shannon Hayden is a classically trained cellist who has never been content to stay strictly within the confines of the traditional course of study. When not performing her own pieces, Shannon focuses on 20th century and contemporary works and has enjoyed working with composers Ezra Laderman, David Lang, Fay Wang, and percussionist/composer Andy Akiho.
Her own music is a combination of process and looped cello and voice.
Noordwiijk - Electronic musician hailing from Montreal, Québec, Canada
The Tangent Project - The world class electronic music duo hailing from the Philadephia area, consisting of Jeff Colter (keyboards/electronics) and Harrison McKay (Guitar) make a return appearance at Even Horizon.
Woz - Paul Woznicki, arrives for his semi self-titled album, WOZ. Woznicki is a film and TV scorer, working on movies such as Fiend in 1980. One year later, 1981, Woznicki released his WOZ LP, a record now some thirty years old and ready to resurface. "Straight Ahead" comes from the world of electronic soundtracks, melodies countering one another in an atmospheric piece. The album has a whimsical quality, harmonies delicately being strung out against a fantastical and sci-fi drenched backdrop. "Tongue Depressor" contains echoes of minimal synth, the movie scorer coiling a spool of sound. "2nd Attempt" has a similar feel to some of Legowelt's more soundtrack based material. There is a sinister and unsettling aspect to Woznicki's sound, an insular and claustrophobic element reflected in the haunting melodies and spiraling synths. "Wozzie's Waltz" is a work of dramatic distortion, chords compressed into a whirling piece before "Zerkon" lifts the listener to loftier levels. "Flashbacks" sees the curtain fall, oscillators cascading over a taciturn tom-tom.
W.T.'s back catalogue contains myriad styles; this latest pair of EP's see that same eccentricity explored. Nao Katafuchi are already turning heads, Yumogeto being a 2012 favourite of Xeno & Oaklander's Liz Wendeblo, with their sleek brand of synth wave. Woznicki comes from a more obscure place, a trailblazing sound of rebounded reverbs and polyphonic perplexities. Undoubtedly even more interesting music will come from the New York imprint in this New Year.
Audio Mace is Chris Wikman and Al Baldwin from Maryland.Audio Mace is the second project for this duo who previously released "Kadath – The Dream Quest" as XCross, to reviewers acclaim. . Audio Mace was formed to provide a vehicle for exploring the power of sound through "sound-based music" "the art form in which the sound and not the musical note is the basic unit." (Landy, L. (2007) Understanding the Art of Sound Organization. MIT Press.) Born out of recognition of the power and force of sound in our lives, Audio Mace combines electronic instrumentation with exotic instruments (including several unique and "home-made" ones), sound textures, rhythmic elements, and percussion as it seeks to explore new themes and sonic textures. These elements merge to create unique and evocative, often extended, musical journeys. Each piece is crafted to express a specific musical idea/storyline and incorporates a variety of musical styles as the concept and artist intent dictate Drawing from dark ambient, program music, industrial, and space rock, among others, the music creates a powerful and mystical atmosphere, evoking other worlds and dreamscapes for the listener. To hear examples of their work, visit their soundcloud page. For CDs visit there CD sales site.
PYXL8R - Ken Palmer uses the name PYXL8R for his solo musical projects when not performing with his instrumental prog band, Brainstatik. Each song begins life as a spontaneous burst of synthesizer-based long-form improvisation around an thematic motif, which is slowly morphed and massaged into a full piece. Ken will once again be accompanied on stage by his son Kyle on synthesizers and iPad, and the PYXL8R duo will debut some new pieces during this performance. Atmospheric, otherworldly, and always dense with unusual sonic textures, all PYXL8R compositions are performed live with no backing tracks. A collection of more than 50 PYXL8R songs can be listened to and downloaded for free at his soundcloud page.
Northern Valentine Northern Valentine is a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania based ambient/drone
Coaxing sounds from electric and acoustic sources, they weave meditative drones and soundscapes with "barely there" post-rock instrumentation to create a tapestry that Phil McMullen (Terrascope Online) refers to as "minimalist ambiance at its best. Heartfelt, soulful and affecting, like gazing into a scrapbook of memories". collective anchored by husband and wife, Robert and Amy Brown.Their music is largely improvisational and is often set to original films that the collective has created.
Big Plastic Finger - The tumultuous noise of molecules recombining into alarming streaks of shooting stars, the massive force of an ocean gone wild usurping the tension of abandonment and opulence coexisting, reach audible proportions in the music of Big Plastic Finger. Those who come from the perspectives of psychedelia, noise, improvisation, hard core, experimental, and rock will all sense something slightly familiar - but will find themselves in BIG PLASTIC FINGER's adventurous realms, meant only for the bold.Shape shifters of space, BIG PLASTIC FINGER multiply and manipulate energy, transmuting sound into a physical force. Playing together for over 4 years, the core principles are: Bonnie Kane - sax, flute, electronics; Scott Prato - electric guitar, electronics, vocals; and Mark McClemens - drums.
Kohoutek - Improvised Psych with Noise Tendancies and Abstraction
Delicate Monster Both Art Cohen (guitar) and Steve Bowman (synths) love to arg ue about what makes g ood music-with each other and with anybody else who feels as passionat ely as the y do. Through Delicate Monster, they make their arguments
in sound. When Art and Steve disagree with each other, it's a consequence of their divergent musical backgrounds. Art is rooted in psychedelic guitar,Berlin-school spacemusic, and American folk. He's been a fixture on the Philly music scene for 25 years-you may know him as half of the duo The Ministry of Inside Things (with Chuck van Zyl). Steve has a musty degree in Music from Harvard, where he first encountered the Buchla. He draws his influence from classical music and radical composers like Ives, Stockhausen, Subotnick, Monteverdi, Bach, and Ligeti. (Their musical tastes do overlap with the Grateful Dead and Captain Beefheart). Art pushes Steve to let the music be clear and simple and to groove on the repetition. Steve pushes Art to surrender to his weird side and luxuriate in the complexity of counterpoint and the thrill of abject dissonance. Playing together off and on for 20 years, Art and Steve have managed to merge their stylistic differences into a novel musical language that is Delicate Monster.
Beck-Fields - Composer Jeremy D. Beck brings his ethereal aesthetics through guitar, piano, and
voice to the electronic genius of William Fields, a veteran in atmospheric and dance works alike. Together they recognize no boundaries of style or genre. The duo is always expanding upon architectures and projections of sound, afforded by their near limitless collection of instruments and knobs. The result is a vast spread of original and unique scenery through the chance realm of improvisation.
Tom Carter - Tom Carter's electric guitar work weaves spare strands of melody into towering long-form drones, sculpting a rich landscape from both high-volume grit and charged silence. Although best known for his work with iconoclasts Charalambides, which he co-founded with Christina Carter in 1991, Carter has recently focused on his eponymous duo with No Neck Blues Band co-founder Pat Murano; Sarin Smoke, his duo with Pete Swanson; and his solo performances and recordings, which have increasingly featured visual components - including collaborations with filmmakers Martha Colburn and Margarida Garcia.
Ombient is the moniker under which Mike Hunter performs his ambient/drone/experimental music.

The Time Merchant - With over 50 albums, the ever prolific Time Merchant is on a constant quest to explore sound. The first album appeared in 1994. Little else is known as The Time Merchant tends to keep out of the public eye, preferring instead to hide away in the recording studio (the wave chamber), working methodically to create the next sound world. Works have explored several genres, including: experimental, dark ambient, atmospheric. pure electronic, and various combinations.
Ian M. Fraser is a computer musician working in free improvisation and algorithmic based composition. His primary focus is generative structures, pseudo-artificial intelligence, stochastic processes and networking systems for audio/visual output. With Reed Evan Rosenberg, he works with the continual development of Keroaän, a musical Artificial Intelligence designed to perform without any human intervention what-so-ever.

Mark Baechtle and Richard Marcus are two seasoned avant garde musicians who have beenfamiliar faces in the electronic music scene. Both have worked extensively in designing sound and live compositions for theater companies, video production teams and modern dance choreographers. These artists have performed live at museums, galleries and festivals locally and abroad in solo and in collaborative projects. Using the newest technology and keeping true to their analog roots, this electronic improvisational duo has a vibrant spirited approach to the sound they create, exploring the new and redefining the old. The past couple of years in the studio have opened up some new ideas for these two artists in collaboration. They have moved the boundaries of improv/electronic/ambient to a new level of sonic textures and rhythms evoking sound collages in the mind's eye. This project started out as an experiment and has now come to the "horizon" and hopefully will flourish to be witnessed in the mind's eye of the audience. If you hear you will see.
Loud and Sad is the long running collaboration of Joe Houpert& Nathan McLaughlin, currently based out of Philadelphia, PA and Hudson, NY. Both individually in their solo work and together in this duo, Houpert and McLaughlin explore the vocabulary of the reel to reel tape machine as a partner in accompaniment. They have built up this tape machine vocabulary through various phases of their work, utilizing a variety of instrument sources and trying to ground those in social concepts and ideas. The current focus is adding folk instrumentation to that vocabulary, with renewed emphasis being put into the energy of live performance. They have a number of releases that chronicle their various incarnations on labels such as cae-sur-a, FET Press, Digitalis, Greenup Industries and an upcoming release on Tranquility Tapes. You can also hear their work as part of the trio Tilth, with Cody Yantis.

A major part of Aaron's music is live manipulation and deformation of rhythmic elements. Many of his themes evoke the feeling of travel by the use of textures that slowly evolve throughout the song. Aaron utilizes both hardware and software instruments, and tends to write music in a minor key that does not conform to a particular genre. His influences include Aphex Twin, Autechre, Tipper, and Cex.
Mar8ram (pronounced Mar-bram) - An electroacoustic duo featuring Bill Marconi on various percussion and Wyman Brantley on computer electronics & electric guitar.

Chuck Van Zyl and Terry Furber - Creating layers of space out of pumping sequencer patterns, strident lead lines and harmonies warm and golden Chuck van Zyl & Terry Furber explore the inner darkness of electronic music, yet out on the verg of ethereality their music gleams like new. Existing on a plane outside the oppressive rush of modernity this music quotes the classics of Spacemusic without mimicking them. Their musical sensibilities evoke a sense of discovery, with each concert marking a new frontier of sound. Best known as host of STAR'S END (WXPN's renowned radio program of spacemusic dreamscapes) and as coordinator of The Gatherings (Philadelphia's premiere concert series of innovative music), Chuck van Zyl has also been making his own unique style of electronic music since 1983. During the mid-90's Centaur Discs of Scotland released "Celestial Mechanics" (1993) and "The Relic" (1995). These albums compiled many of van Zyl's early cassette releases onto compact discs. It was during this same time period that Synkronos Music released "Regeneration Mode" (1994), the famous collaboration between Chuck van Zyl and The Nightcrawlers member Peter D. Gulch. In 1992 Chuck van Zyl founded the group The Ministry of Inside Things. Along with guitarist Art Cohen they performed dozens of live concerts in various venues and unique spaces and released three live CDs on the Synkronos Music label: "Everlasting Moment" (2003), "Contact Point" (2006) and "Ambient Elsewhere" (2008).

Listening to the music of Terry Furber one would believe that digital synthesizers had never been invented. Furber demonstrates a masterful grasp of the vintage gear around which the spacemusic genre gravitates and explores the past in a new way. His music is discovered in the act of its making - with Furber perceiving the music as it is being realized. Terry Furber's collaborative effort with guitarist Scott Watkins is the well-known duo Orbital Decay. They have created several self-released CDs of music produced out of their lengthy jam sessions, as well as the acclaimed studio album "Solar Maxima" (2006).4 Orbital Decay has performed live at E-Music, Soundscapes, Gate to Moonbase Alpha, The Whitaker Center, The STAR'S END 30th Anniversary Concerts and The Gatherings Concert Series as well as on several significant broadcasts of STAR'S END Ambient Radio.

Wisconsin State Fair starts Aug. 2
Food, music, rides - it's all there
It's a little bit cream puff, a little bit rock 'n' roll.
The 2012 Wisconsin State Fair runs Thursday through Aug. 12, a 161-year tradition that includes - well, try to name something it doesn't include.
Music? Hey, it's here. The park holds dozens of entertainment venues including the Potawatomi Bingo Casino Main Stage with a lineup that features everything from country artist Billy Currington (Aug. 3) to classic rockers Styx (Aug. 7).
Animals? It's fun on-the-hoof with all creatures from racing pigs to jumping bunnies, prancing chickens, soft-eyed cows and 1-ton draft horses.
Thrills? SpinCity is the new midway, with new games and rides, including the 200-foot Stratosphere tower.
Food and drink? Sample the wares at more than 200 food and beverage vendors.
Family fun? Check out the shopping, crafts, flowers and interactive activities throughout the fair's run.
Oh, and about those cream puffs: You can delight in those anytime during the fair (and don't miss the Cream Puff Eating Contests on Aug. 9).
Admission at the gate is $9 (ages 12-59); $6 for seniors, military and veterans with ID; $5 for ages 6-11; and free admission for kids 5 and younger.
For all the fair details, go to jsonline.com/statefair.

In hockey, the term "rookie sensation" is often accompanied by the dreaded "sophomore slump." Well documented in a couple of recent players such as Steve Mason of Columbus and Michael Del Zotto of New York, the sophomore slump can be detrimental to the overall development of the player and his NHL club.
These next seven players however are prime candidates for avoiding this developmental disaster. Some of them boast awards that some NHL vets never achieve, such as the elusive Stanley cup that Tyler Seguin is kissing in the above picture. With their promising rookie seasons under their belt, these seven players will be some of the most exciting and productive come October.
Let's begin.

Highly recommend Dr. Jarrett09/09/2009
Dr. Jarrett is an amazing and caring doctor. I have been going to him for over 14 years and he has delivered all 3 of my children. I highly recommend him because he takes that extra time to show he cares and he's extremely good at what he does. And I know this may sound silly, but I am always impressed with how he remembers so much of my personal story. He's always willing to answer my questions and is very patient. Unfortunately, I'm one of those patients who question everything, but he has really taken the time to reassure me about my health issues. (I too have received returned calls personally from him.) I have never had a problem with the office staff and actually find them quite accommodating and sweet. I highly recommend Dr. Jarrett!! And by the way, it's extremely disappointing to see people leave multiple reviews for the same physician, therfore giving them an overall bad rap. I've had nothing but extremely positive experiences with Dr. Jarrett and the staff at Beacon OB/GYN. And trust me, I have been to some terrible doctors in the past.

Welcome to 1to1 Media — a multimedia resourcefor CRM and Customer Experience Professionals.
Social media is providing a major opportunity for businesses, allowing them to interact with their customers over these popular channels. Forward-thinking organizations are also using social media to cast a wider net and apart from reaching their customers, also interact with their clients' social contacts.
In order to successfully do this, business leaders are looking for innovative ways to encourage their customers and followers to become advocates for the brand by passing on the message to their own connections and increasing the reach of their organizations to individuals who might otherwise have not been exposed to that information.
Organizations which already have a fanbase have a ready-built audience which they can tap into and share information about the company over social channels. The Baltimore Ravens recognized this opportunity and are always looking for ways to engage its fans and encourage them to share content with their contacts.
While the Baltimore Ravens have been active in engaging fans over Facebook and Twitter, the team's leadership wanted to find ways to step up its efforts. "Our fans are always looking for ways to engage with us and it was a no-brainer to enlist their help to share our content," says Michelle Andres, the team's vice president for digital media.
In September 2011, the Baltimore Ravens implemented a tool by SocialToaster to encourage their brand ambassadors to share content with their social connections and increase engagement across the board. The tool allows the team's participating fans to select which content types they want to share and then earn points for participating in the program, allowing them to win prizes like Baltimore Ravens merchandise.
Andres notes that this strategy makes a lot of sense for organizations like the Baltimore Ravens, which has an existing fanbase of individuals who are keen to share content with their friends. The team included a simple way for fans to become RavensReps by connecting through their Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, or MySpace accounts. Andres explains that those who sign up will receive an email asking them what types of information they want to share over social channels.
Enlisting the help of its biggest fans has worked in favor of the football team, which is reaching out to a greater number of people than if it only communicated content to its existing fans. Andres notes that some content was more successful than others, adding that fans are very interested in items like the release of the schedule or the signing of a new player.
Andres explains that the team's leadership is paying attention to the success levels of different pieces of content, allowing it to invest in what's most popular. Further, Andres says the team is paying a lot of attention to how posts are worded since they appear on fans' feeds and need to look as if they're coming from the team.
The response from fans has also been deemed positive, with close to 9,000 ambassadors signing up to become RavensReps. Andres says the program has gone down well with the group's ambassadors who are able to win prizes, among them an official Ravens' leather jacket.
"We want to give our fans the opportunity to have a voice and share their views," Andres notes. She adds that since the Baltimore Ravens don't sell tickets, this is an easy way for fans to voice their enthusiasm for the team.
Lessons Learned
Leverage social media: Savvy organizations are using social channels to interact with their customers and prospects.
Engage fans: Organizations have the opportunity to turn customers into brand ambassadors and reach a bigger audience.
Give something back: Organizations should try to give value to their customers, especially ones that are brand ambassadors.

Joan Guzman Looking For a February or March Return
By Jhonny Gonzalez
Former champion Joan Guzman, who plans to fight at 140 and 147, is planning to return to the ring in February or March of next year. He wants to have at least three to four fights in 2012. After nearly a year, Guzman (31-0, 18KOs) returned to the ring on November 18th in the Dominican Republic and knocked out Florencio Castellano in one round. Guzman picked up the IBF's vacant Caribbean junior welterweight. He wants to fight a big name at 140, but doesn't rule out a possible fight at 147 with a leading champion.

This product caused an allergic asthma type reaction. I have never suffered from asthma before but within an hour or two of taking this I started experiencing an itchy throat and wheezing which I put down to the start of the flu. I continued taking the product and my condition improved until day 5 when i started worsening again. I stopped taking the product and the wheezing improved. 2 weeks later I tried the product again and the wheezing came back again. This has never happened to me before and I take a myriad of natural supplements. Beware!

The amount due is $5364.45. I do not owe this amount as I had insurance prior to leaving the state over 10 years ago. I spoke to a representative which stated that I would need to provide proof of insurance from June 9, 2001 to date on a 1969 Ford Falcon which was totaled in 2001. The representative told me that she would run the VIN# to see if the car has been registered since that date. She then told me that I would need to call back on Thursday to check the status or results.
I know that I do not owe this amount and I am in NO WAY even going to consider to pay or make ANY arrangements on paying this trumped up bill. Worst case scenario, I will allow them to report this to my credit and then IMMEDIATELY call to dispute the debt and asked that it is removed from my credit due to being an 'outdated collection' account.
I then googled and searched only to find literally HUNDREDS of people who all once lived in Maryland and left the state 10+ years ago... received the exact same notice. The State of Maryland is pulling out all the stops in attempting to gain revenue. I am definitely interested in a class-action lawsuit should someone ever get one started.
