Adelante: Trio consisting of Paul Mimlitsch, Jody Janetta, and Dan 
Osterweil
One approach Paul uses utilizes various signal processors and looping 
devices to create evolving collages of sound ("soundscapes") that serve as 
both back-drops to original compositions and as stimuli for further 
exploration/ improvisation. The textures and moods created along this 
stream of consciousness journey can range from ambient/ meditative to 
jagged/unsettling, from "straight ahead" to "out". Jody has been a 
professional musician and educator for the past 30 years. Much of Jody’s 
performing revolves around his first loves: Jazz and Free Improvisation, 
in which he performs on both Drum Set and Hand Percussion (Tabla, Djembe, 
Darbuka, Timbales, Congas, Bongos, etc.). Jody is the founding member of 
Adelante, whose compositions fuse elements of Jazz, World, 
Ambient/Electronic, and 20th Century Classical forms.  Dan Osterweil is a 
multi-instrumentalist/ composer who is featured in Adelante, on Saxophones 
(7 types) and Flutes (including Recorders and stone flutes). Dan studied 
and performed at The Creative Music Studio with Don Cherry, Anthony 
Braxton, Jack DeJohnette, George Russell, John Cage, Allen Ginsburg, and 
others. http://hometown.aol.com/pmimlitsch/index.html,

Anti:Clockwise: About his own breed of music, entitled "Uglient," 
Anti:Clockwise writes, "…as in real life mistakes are made. once sampled 
these lapses can never be ignored. they return again and again until 
eventually they're woven into the fabric of the whole and 
assimilated…uglient is the melding of the carefully chosen and wantonly 
blurted out thrown together by misshapen fate or lackluster luck. uglient 
is the walkman headphones guy on the subway, singing very loud and very 
sharp off the mark, oblivious… written anew at every show..."

Mindwarp Pavillion:  Mindwarp Pavilion is synthesist David Lunt (Pretty 
Poison, Nightcrawlers) and Tim Larsen on bass and synths. Together, they 
perform loop based techno music with Ambient/Space passages.  Tying 
together the rhythms which they've dubbed 'Space and Bass', their music is 
driven from pop culture which includes humor and interpretation of some 
classics from the 50's to the 90's.
