Mike Gamble is an adventurous guitarist and multi-instrumentalist whose work with electronic modes of composition are integrated endlessly into his setup. Gamble has spent the last 15 years immersed in the creative jazz, experimental rock and improvised music scene primarily in NYC, with close ties to New Orleans, Burlington, Boston, San Francisco and now in Portland OR, where he currently lives. 

CHRIS CORSANO is a New York-based drummer who has been working at the intersections of free jazz, avant-rock, and experimental music since the late '90s. He's a rim-batterer of choice for some of the greatest contemporary purveyors of "jazz" (Joe McPhee, Mette Rasmussen, Zoh Amba) and "rock" (Sir Richard Bishop, Bill Orcutt, Jim O'Rourke), as well as artists beyond categorization (Björk for her Volta album and world tour, Michael Flower, Okkyung Lee). 

Maxx Katz is a multi-instrumentalist and composer whose work draws on vocabulary from heavy metal, contemporary classical, free improvisation, and performance. A classically trained flutist with an M.A. in Music from UVA, Katz uses flute, electric guitar, and voice as instruments of transformation. They compose work for ongoing ensembles including Yelling Choir, Floom, and Ixnay.
