Gary Schwantes-Saxes, Electric Guitar, Bamboo Flutes, Loops/Electronics

Gary Schwantes has toured and recorded 2 CDs with North Carolina based Hip Bones. He is founder of Ultra World X-tet, and has performed with S.F. Guzheng Music Society, Klezmania, Pam Tillis, Lou Harrison, Allen Ginsberg, John Cipolina and Hank Ballard. He has composed music and done sound design for Lily Cai Chinese Dance Company, Fisher-Price, Mattel, Broderbund, Fujitsu, Mickey Hart, Craig Baldwin, Dimensions Dance Theater, ACT, and S.F. Legion of Honor Museum among others and released a CD with Chinese composer Gang Situ. www.garyschwantes.com
Ron Chornow has been a percussionist for over 20 years and recently has added the clarinet. He is a veteran of many Punk, Industrial and Alternative Bands such as Forms of Things, Samsara, Color Failure, Dinosaur Lullaby, Lots of Trees, New Assault and Krank. In addition to traditional percussion instruments, Ron likes to create unusual sounds with objects originally intended for other purposes.

"Animal, vegetable, television. These are some of the basic elements we use to create and inform our music, as well as 3 staples of our daily diet. Given this Input, experience has shown that our expected Output encompasses noise constructions, delicate sustained melodic textures, and urban tribal improv."
