THE MINISTRY OF INSIDE THINGS, consisting of electronic musician Chuck van Zyl and electric guitarist Art Cohen, are considered among the most innovative of US synthesists today. Influenced by the early music of Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze and Ash Ra Tempel, their spacemusic has been described as linear, leading the listener across many sonic terrains. Based on improvisation, The Ministry of Inside Things creates electronic realizations that flow from theme to theme, with the experience often lasting up to two hours. Through use of textures and atmospheres as well as harmony, rhythm and melody, the group transports the audience on an internal sonic excursion.
CALABAI YAU, consisting of Leno Forbes and Nick Tenaglia, performs improvised ambient and noise that is both trance-inducing and edgy.
SHARKS WITH WINGS is a local trio of 2 double basses and laptop/electronics.
