Dave Heumann is a guitarist, singer, songwriter, and composer based in Baltimore, MD. Known for his work as a founding member of Arbouretum, Human Bell, and many other projects, he has been active for over two decades as a bandleader and collaborator, writing, recording, and performing music in North America and Europe. While his solo sets within the last few years have often been entirely comprised of guitar improvisations, he has of late turned his attention back toward composition, with sung songs and composed pieces woven together with looped and layered threads of spontaneous guitar expression.

Blake Hornsby is an experimental folk musician based out of Asheville, North Carolina. Hornsby's work is influenced by Indian raga, Middle Eastern music, psychedelia, country blues, and Appalachian music. Audiences have described his music as a mixture of John Fahey, The Incredible String Band, The Beatles, and transcendental experiences. Others have labeled his music as 'Hallucinatory Mountain Folk' and 'Psychedelic World Folk Fusion'. Most say it's indescribable.

Kutay Sezginel's music explores the intertwined nature of tradition and innovation. Rooted in the rich heritage of Anatolian folk music and inspired by psychedelic rock, dark ambient and krautrock, he creates cosmic soundscapes layered with microtonal cultural motifs and odd time signatures. With neo-ethnic instruments like the çağlama and the electric cümbüş as his narrators, he creates stories of imaginative realms with memories of the past. His work is always evolving and reshaping itself through the spontaneity and energy of live performances.
