MAKE A RISING: "Taking cues from Sun Ra, lo-fi rock, and circus
music...MAR creates trans-genre music with guitars, drums, saxophones,
violins, keyboards, bells, and assorted noisemakers that should land
them on the cover of some international glossy magazine
publication..." (The Philadelphia Independent, Feb. '04)

 
GOODNIGHT STARS GOODNIGHT AIR is David Kresge of Lehigh Valley, PA. He
is a solo experimental guitarist using reverse engineering of
electronic music and incorporating various detuned guitars & effects,
laptop, electric sitar, Indian banjo, toy instruments and
improvisation to create organic soundscapes. These soundscapes are
ambient, dissonant, and beautifully lilting compositions that are
built around a framework of field recordings and percussive loops.
 

ACE PARADISE is the musical persona of Audubon, New Jersey native Ed
Aceto. From the nightclub and rave dancefloor as veteran Techno DJ to
the deep space chill of STAR'S END as live performer, Ace Paradise
understands and embraces the many genres of EM. Music from
Electro-Statica [his self produced CD] has been featured on STAR'S
END. The dense drones and ethereal effects - cycling patterns of
interlocking multi-layered modulated tones and pulses of electronic
persussion - combine to make this effort a worthwhile addition to the
radio program and, along with Ace's creative energy, the area
electronic music scene.

 
THE GREAT QUENTINI: Born in an obscure corner of Pennsylvania.
Abducted by space aliens for cross cloning with Yeti. Twelve year
residency at Dr Zorg's secret underground space station. Five year
unexplained gap. Thirteen years in Philadelphia recovering from wounds
received while fighting Gondar. In the words of an 8-year-old critic:
"Don't be afraid Mom, he's just a Sacred Clown."
