Levinson/Mahlmeister: Comprised of Jamie Levinson & Donny Mahlmeister, the Chicago duo uses synthesizers in combination with tactile instruments (Levinson is a drummer/percussionist & Mahlmeister a guitarist) to create cinematic snapshots of sonance. While the duo absolutely gives glances toward artists like Eno, Lanois, Reich, Riley & the kosmische places and spaces of Deuter, they are absolutely of the NOW, in step with ambient explorers like Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Panabrite, or locals Bitchin' Bajas, TALsounds or Brett Naucke.

Joshua Davison got his start in electronic music as half of the Chicago electronic duo String Theory in the early 2000s. Since then, he's performed and recorded across a number of genres, venturing into psychedelic electronic rock with Parks and Gardens and Thirds, and releasing synthesizer-based experimental music under his own name.
