He prefers to be gazing at the amazing landscapes back home, in Sweeden, and engaging to a marathon of back and forth’s with his guitar and recorder, than explain his existence, when is more than clear than his music does. He is known for being half of Outmen, an indie folk band. Just look at the handsome mustache he is wearing… that can tell you more about him. And The New Drum, his solo project, will tell you everything. So go on and play his music   [United Kingdom] Hills Are Mountains stemmed from a series of “musical get to know you” improvisations after meeting on a Sonic Art course in London .Hailing from different places geographically, they found a communication through readily made acoustic instruments and natural landscapes.   [Los Angeles, California. USA] Alyssa Roberts and Erik Jones met in a college math class –something far from the whimsy ways of wizardry. It never made sense exactly how they became acquainted, but it was something along the lines of a Erik finding himself entirely enchanted by Alyssa’s unicorn necklace. Between late night horse-play and long-winded spells of math equations Animal Magik was formed. The duo use an array of instruments from a toy Echo Mic and Crocodile kids play Xylophone to an Autoharm and Hammered-dulcimer.

He loves to go to the forest every time he gets the chance. He’s very obsessive. His weapons of choice are beer, pataphysics, and guitars.   [Mendoza, Argentina] “I always liked the idea of recording my most spontaineous musical moments with any recorder I had near my reach”. In the begining I did it out of necesity (an interior pleasure), then I thought that If this made such good to me, maybe it can provoke something similar to the others, so they can take the most ambiguous part of my music” In 2004, Trasvorder records “Luminaria”, a five songs EP with minimalistic songwriting. “When I create music, I try to hold the very moment I’m living, to stop it in sounds for ever”.

  THE PROCEDURE CLUB   VOLAVERUNT        
               
  [New Heaven , Connecticut. USA] The Procedure Club is a duo.  Adam and Andrea.  They both live in New Haven CT and have been recording together since the late December of 2007 while cold and bored during the long New England winter nights.  They both have been friends for many years and they both shared passion for similar  kinds of music. Mainly experimental, shoegazy, twee poppy kind of stuff, such as The Black Tambourine, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Bartlebees, My Bloody Valentine, His Name is Alive, Shop Assistants as well as some recent tape adventures of Ariel Pink, John Maus and the list goes on…Adam Malec has been active in the New Haven music scene since 1997 and has formed  an interesting indie rock band called Groovski.  In the mean time, he has experimented with home recordings as well as some sporadic live noise shows with Coup De Grace, Electro-Idiot and Human Pontiac.  After Groovski has wrapped up it’s  activities in 2007, Adam has devoted all of his efforts to making music with Andrea Belair. Her innocent, soft and all out beautiful singing voice, as well as the sarcastic and abstract sense of humor, coupled with the fact that she is a total weirdo, was enough to form The Procedure Club.  The name “procedure club” was actually stolen by Andrea from her college friend.  The name theft was eventually forgiven, provided that Andrea and Adam would reveal the author’s name, who happens to be Crystal Ward, a true comedic genius! A true queen of vagueness. The Procedure Club hopes that some day the world will hear about Crystal and her ways.   [Leon/ Jalapa/ DF, Mexico] Volaverunt is: Eduardo Padilla, Vaka Lee, and Juan Bonilla.Juan Bonilla is one funny guy; he’s also a talented arquitect.Vaka Lee is one of the most singular women you’ll ever meet (if you ever do meet her). Eduardo Padilla is half insane, and really quite friendly.
