Akron/Family
Akron/Family is a folk-influenced experimental rock band that formed in 2002, and is currently based in New York on the Dead Oceans label. Though each member of the band — Miles Seaton, Seth Olinsky, Dana Janssen and formerly Ryan Vanderhoof can be relegated to loosely defined roles (drummer, guitarist, bassist, vocalist), all of them in fact play several instruments and sing. In addition to their solo debut in 2005, the band played behind Michael Gira on his Angels of Light project as well as splitting a full length CD with Angels of Light. In 2006, the band released an EP, “Meek Warrior,” a collaboration with master drummer/hero Hamid Drake. Sometime between the completion of [2007 release] Love Is Simple and Akron/Family’s 2007 U.S. tour, Vanderhoof left Akron/Family to live in a Buddhist Dharma center in the Midwest. The band has also released several tour EPs featuring demos and other recordings. In May of 2009, the trio released Set ‘em Wild, Set ‘em Free. In January of 2011 they released their most recent album, “S/T II: The Cosmic Birth And Journey Of Shinju TNT .” The band is currently on tour in support of this album.

Alexander Calder
Alexander Calder was born in 1898 in Philadelphia to prominent sculptor, Alexander Stirling Calder. Among the most innovative modern sculptors, Calder was trained as a mechanical engineer. In 1930 he went to Paris and was influenced by the art of Mondrian and Miró. In 1932 he exhibited his first brightly colored constellations, called mobiles, consisting of painted cut-out shapes connected by wires and set in motion by wind currents. The Museum of Modern Art, New York City, has several examples. These buoyant inventions and his witty wire portraits, his colorful and complex miniature zoo (1925; Whitney Mus., New York City), and his immobile sculptures known as stabiles, have brought Calder world renown. Many of his later works are huge, heavy, and delicately balanced mobiles produced for public buildings throughout the world. Calder is also noted for his book illustrations and stage sets. He had studios in Roxbury, CT, and Paris.

Antony and The Johnsons
This New York-based chamber cabaret outfit is led by the striking, androgynous figure of singularly named performance artist Antony (b. Antony Hegarty). In 1995 he assembled a backing group, the self-styled Antony and the Johnsons. The group built up a cult following at hip New York clubs such as the Kitchen and Knitting Factory, but their debut album Blue Angel remained unreleased until current 93 leader David Tibet signed Antony and the Johnsons to his Durtro label. The cast list of musicians on the album, released under the title Antony and the Johnsons in 1998, included transsexual artist Baby Dee (harp), Francois Gehin (bass), Todd Cohen (drums), Charles Neilson (guitar), and a number of string and woodwind players. In 2004, Antony and the Johnsons signed a new recording contract with the Indiana-based label Secretly Canadian, completing work on their second album “I Am A Bird Now” by the end of 2004. Antony has also filmed cameo roles in the movies "Animal Factory" and "Wilde Side".

Brion Gysin
During his lifetime, Brion Gysin embraced a myriad of artistic forms, producing paintings, drawings, photo-collages, installations, poetry, film, and sound recordings, often taking his chosen medium in new and unexpected directors while influencing the work of others. Perhaps best known among Gysin’s many creations are the Cut-Up Method, which he explored with his lifelong friend and collaborator William S. Burroughs, and the Dreamachine, a kinectic sculpture developed with Ian Sommerville that uses the “flicker” effect to induce visions in those who allow its light to play on their closed eyelids. Since his death, Gysin’s work has only increased in popularity, and he continues to inspire an array of artists, writers, poets, and musicians.
