Morf

MorF is a kind of stylistic indecisiveness. The name – derived from a popular question used on the Internet: Male or Female – refers to the state of being between; in this case, between music genres. Kuba Luka and Michal Sosna started the project in 2006. At the beginning it was rather a side project for them – an addition to other projects they were involved in at the time. This changed in April 2006 when they performed before an Australian trio called Triosk.

Comus

Taking their name from a character in a John Milton poem, Comus was a short-lived yet powerful folk-rock band that seems to have made an attempt to mix elements of King Crimson with the influences of Pentangle, Fairport Convention and other more traditional folk outfits. Their debut, First Utterance (1971), was followed by To Keep From Crying in 1974, moving into even more experimental sounds. Original copies of the first album still command remarkable prices, despite recent reissues by BGO in the U.K. and Si-Wan in Asia.

Hobo

Growing up in Sarnia about an hour’s drive from Detroit, Joel first connected with electronic music through Kraftwerk who in turn stimulated his interest in the rich techno landscape just a stone’s throw away. Jeff Mills and Juan Atkins were particularly influential but it was Plastikman’s Sheet One that really sealed the deal, inspiring him to start building his own loops and samples. He was soon hooking up for laptop jam sessions with Adam Young after high school and the pair gradually evolved into Tractile.
