Mike Gamble is an exploratory, virtuosic guitarist and composer from Portland. Recently he's been working with audio-reactive projection programmed to modulate films he has written and directed. He has recorded and toured with The Inbetweens, Bobby Previte, Counter Record’s Cougar, and alongside doom-metal originators Earth, and invited recently to share the stage with Matt Chamberlain, Lori Goldston, Esperanza Spalding, Todd Sickafoose, and Nels Cline. He is an Audio Production instructor at Oregon State University, teaches privately at Willamette University, and is artistic director of Portland’s longstanding experimental music organization The Creative Music Guild.

Erin Jorgensen is a Seattle-based marimbist and musician living in Seattle. Her love of the unique and beautiful properties of the marimba has led to a diverse artistic life with performances in art spaces, concert halls, rock clubs, and unexpected performance spaces all over the city, as well as a tour of the USA opening for indie band Built to Spill as part of an electric marimba/guitar duo. Her musical style and interest ranges from Bach to electronica, and movie soundtracks to pop covers. In addition to performing, she has produced new music concerts in Seattle including a sold-out show of Arvo Pärt at On the Boards and the recent Cheating, Lying, Stealing featuring new music by American composers at Washington Hall with cellist Rose Bellini.

Simon Henneman is guitarist/bassist for Seattle’s ravishing surf/noir band Diminshed Men, as well as a versatile and deeply skilled improvisor, curator, composer, and busy freelance side player. He leads avant rock power trio Cantrip, performs with Contraband Countryband, New Series One, and with Wayne Horvitz's Electric Circus. He is also composer and director of the Meridian Big Band.
