About: Dungeon Destroyah presents his upcoming concept entitled “Petit Mal”. A project whose sound became a never ending search to bring heavy frequencies back to the village. Playing with air to create ballistic sonics that simulate an insect shedding its exoskeleton or a primate discovering the subwoofer. It aims to stir the imagination rather than diluting it through a sound collage of field recordings, modular synthesis and analog/acoustic drums. Petit Mal is about following your intuition and never looking back. Links: https://dungeondestroyah.bandcamp.com/releases https://www.instagram.com/dungeondestroyah/

About metajon is an experimental music project by Jonas Schröter.
He tries to hide the grids and the characteristics of the everyday music and to ascribe pieces completely free of charge.
The project is designed so that the songs can also be performed live. He only uses hardware devices and only to record, mix and master the computer. Links: https://metajon.bandcamp.com/ https://www.youtube.com/user/metajon https://vimeo.com/metajon https://www.instagram.com/metajonmusic/

About: Thierry Holweck is a French electronic musician, whose thematic music is based on sound exploration made with his modular system. Recordings are captured performances of tracking the white rabbit down a sonic worm hole that share time between mono and polyrythymic layers, twisted by Euclidian and random parameters. Created is a conversation between tension and release and a mix of simple and gentle melodies. Natural sounds like a wood floor, animals and any natural element fed into the sampler add depth and humanise the soundscape. Thierry is based in Lyon-Croix-Rousse, France.

About: Aria Cluster aka Sushant Joshi is a music producer, sound designer, and educator currently based out of Bhimtal, Uttarakhand, India. His current work revolves around using sound in an experiential way either by more of an ambient approach or anything new in terms of manipulating noise around in terms of medium using synthesizers. Sushant's core lies in music production, synthesizers, sound design, sound editing, mixing, and sound art. Being a self-taught musician has been a journey, prescient and invigorating. The process of making music for Sushant is a blank canvas to which the colours of sound flow in all their natural capacity and tone. He approaches composition starting with the key and time signature and then creates unending chain of improvisations. In his music making Sushant prefers exploration of modular synths, VCV rack and semi-modular synths. He recently released his album Omnipresent, a compilation of 30 songs created in VCV rack. The core approach is creating generative, ambient soundscapes.

About: Sine Mountain, aka David Soto, is a world-building, modular synth artist and head of the Colorado Modular Synth Society (CMSS). David is a proud Chicano working in the ambient and experimental side of music. His music has been described as cinematic, patient, moving, and emotional. His intention is to tell short stories through his compositions. Fascinated by science, love, and the nature of birds, many of his albums focus on time, distance, and the struggle to stay alive. The piece performed for Data Cult Studio was inspired by a short story his 7-year-old wrote about daydreaming. The music was recorded in one take with a modular synthesizer and a Cicada (Physical Synthesis).

ABOUT THIS RECORDING: Rebecca's latest mix is a live ambient/experimental performance recorded in one take in my studio. The sounds come from various software and hardware instruments and includes layers of original field recordings. Since recently completing a Circle of Live - In Bloom mentorship program with another Detroit-based artist, Erika, Rebecca composed this piece incorporating some of the approaches and techniques to live jamming that we considered. The piece is called “Edinburgh” and was inspired by a brief moment spent in a magical place. About: Rebecca Goldberg is a producer, DJ, live performer and designer from Detroit.

About: danielle_griselda is not a musician. danielle_griselda is a black dot experimenting with light and sound exploring the self-generative through hardware electronics for theatre and movie scoring and simply for having some fun. because being alive may mostly be a random fact, intertwining unpredictable shapes could be another one among all random possibilities worth trying to play. venti ventuno: velleità virtuale embraces the idea of setting boundaries within which things happen, instead of choosing what is going to happen precisely and when and how; some said once that will is always negative and what is causing this piece makes no exception, there might be nothing left to do but trying and going wrong anyway. face this fleece virtually. it helps me sleep.

About: Moxy Martinez, a self taught DJ & producer, has created, performed, produced, and contributed original music and DJ sets for a variety of projects both nationally and internationally since 2003. They have worked and collaborated with individual artists, art institutions, art galleries, dance studios, live music venues, and film projects throughout their career. Highlights of Moxy's career include DJing the Trans Musicales festival in France (2007), being hand selected by Tom Sachs for his show ‘Tom Sachs: Boombox Retrospective’ at the Contemporary, Austin providing a unique DJ mix which was played from inside his sculptures (2015), and contributing original music to Emmy nominated documentary Tiny Out Loud (2015). In addition, Moxy has recently (2018- present) worked with the Columbus Museum of Art and The Wexner Center for the Arts providing live DJ sets, performing live synthesizer sets and mediating discussion forums with other artists. Most notably, in collaboration with The Wex and Counterfeit Madison, Moxy produced the sold out show ‘Say A Little Prayer: An Aretha Franklin Celebration’ held at the Lincoln Theatre, February 2020. Moxy has also performed and released music as Osea Merdis since 2016. The Osea Merdis project is structured around ideas which are 100% created on analog synths (mainly Moog Mother 32 ecosystem). These ideas, paired with self captured field recordings, contort everyday life into a uniquely identifying audio personality. Moxy’s Osea Merdis project is very discerning, emotionally intentional, and based in the need to express the softer side of life even through struggles and sufferings.

About: For Raul Duran aka Iteration and Discord is not a hobby. It’s possible the process of making music is meditation. During the production most of the daily toil disappears and he is left with an open mind ready to receive the spark of creation. Attempting to forget everything about music and let the subconscious decide what direction to take. Sound and developing tone are very inspirational.  
 The track featured is over 30 minutes of live parameter tweaking. The performance is an unforgiving manipulation of a recorded modular synthesizer. The recorded synth part is further processed in real-time with Ableton.

About: In 1956 the russian space agency launched a secret mission to altair inside the g-cloud, an interstellar cloud 16.7 light years away from the sun. three brave cosmonauts were launched on a one way journey to the distant star. Their objective was to seek habitable territory and investigate unidentified deep space radio signals emanating from the planet. throughout their journey these deep space frequencies were intercepted, recorded and relayed back to planet earth where scientists baffled to decode them. with access to only primitive 1950's equipment the signals could not be deciphered - until now...  cyberneticOhm is a technological performing arts + modular synth electronica collective from altair > based on  > planet earth > utilising science of communications and automatic control systems in both machines and living things we have developed a system through which translation > transcoding of distant radio wave signals from deep space is possible Links: http://www.cyberneticohm.org https://cyberneticohm.bandcamp.com/music
