Chuck Bettis & Jerry Lim - Chuck was raised in the fertile harDCore soil, nourished within Baltimore's enigmatic avant garde gatherings, and currently blossoming in New York's experimental music realms. His unique blend of electronics and throat has led him into various collaborations with great musicians from around the globe, including: John Zorn, Fred Frith, YoshimiO, Mephista, Afrirampo, Ikue Mori, Nautical Almanac, Matmos, Berangere Maximin, Yellow Swans, Toshio Kajiwara, Jad Atoui, etc, plus a long history of punk bands he was in (most notably the experimental punk band Meta-matics as well as the enigmatic All Scars). Jerry Lim (b. 1975) is an artist that works with photography, text, sound and video. He is also a guitarist and improviser having performed at venues such as Roulette, The Stone and Carnegie Hall. He has played with legendary saxophonist Joe McPhee, kayagum master Sang-Won Park, sound artist Sean Meehan, filmmaker Martha Colburn, among others.

Guitarist and composer Mick Barr has released countless recordings under the names Ocrilim, Orthrelm, and Octis, and has worked with Krallice, The Flying Luttenbachers, Zach Hill, Weasel Walter, and Sam Hillmer of Zs. His lightning fast guitar style and singular approach to the instrument goes unrivaled among his contemporaries, leading Ian MacKaye (Minor Threat/Fugazi) to claim that “He is our Coltrane.”

Breath of the Magi is Baltimore-based improvisational ensemble of multi-instrumentalists: Che Davis, Orlando Johnson, and Peter Redgrave.
