THOMAS LEHN & MARCUS SCHMICKLER
Thomas Lehn and Marcus Schmickler are both well-known electroacoustic musicians from Cologne, but they come from very different backgrounds. Lehn is from the world of improvisation, while Schmickler's previous work lies predominantly in the world of studio production. Lehn is best known for the CD projects Tom and Gerry (Erstwhile), Konk Pack-Big Deep (Grob), and e-rax-Live at the BIMhuis 1999 (X-Or), as well as for his consistently superb performances on the European festival circuit. Schmickler has been involved with numerous projects, including the seminal collective Kontakta (Odd Size). As a solo artist, Schmickler has created important works such as Wabi Sabi (A-Musik), as well as three CDs under the name Pluramon, all on Mille Plateaux, including the just released remix project Bit Sand Riders. He's also worked extensively in the house and techno scenes, both on his own and with musicians such as Thomas Brinkmann and Cristian Vogel.

TIM BARNES & SEAN MEEHAN
Tim Barnes is a sound designer, percussionist, composer, archivist, and record label operator living in NYC. His gesturalistic drumming style reaches for the pause in music through textural possibilities, as well as pointillist punctuations. He has performed solo and group works in Japan and in the U.S. with Jim O'Rourke, Ikue Mori, Toshimaru Nakamura, Nagisa Nite, John Zorn, Okkyung Lee, and Neil Michael Hagerty (to name a few). Sean Meehan became musically active in the late 80s at the amica bunker series for improvised music which was then housed at abc no rio in NYC. Meehan's interest in improvisation and collaboration has taken him around the world where he has performed solo and with local artists ranging from players of folk instruments to computer artist to avant-garde flower arrangers. He has performed throughout North and South America, Asia and Eastern Europe.
