AxemRangers
AxemRangers is a oneman experimental sound project started in the fall of 2006, based in Webster, New York. Using very minimal equipment (because he is very cheap), the goal of AxemRangers is grounded more in personal expression of emotions, moods and ideas rather that a pure focus on sonic aesthetics and intellectual composition. This may or may not be a copout. He operates the Cracked Bat Tapes label.

The Vivi Sect
The Vivi Sect is a leaky vessel, expunging and taking on musicians as the tide allows. Founding member Red Cell has helmed the vessel in all it's various incarnations over the last 7 years. The Vivi Sect explores all musically known shores, from cylinder recordings of the 1800s to electro-ballads and folk songs, in search of unique and interesting aural ephemera. We are currently working with The Jism Archives (a new upstart experimental and avant-garde label) to set up a web page, so we are currently webless.
No It Is Opposition
"Back in the 80s, Sven and Mike played in different local bands in East Westphalia in Western Germany. We started doing music as members of “Out Of Days” who did a demo tape called “No Tragedy This Time” and split in 1991. While Mike retired from music for quite a time, Sven joined “Me In The Rye” who published some demo tapes (e.g. “Atmen heißt urteilen”, “Blondes”) and the album “Atmosphaerehandel” in 1994, produced by Mathias Arfmann of “Kastrierte Philosophen”. “Me In The Rye” played as support for artists such as “Swell”, Nikki Sudden and "The Television Personalities”. Sven and Mike formed “No It Is Opposition” in 1997. Originally planned as an outfit for two old men sitting in armchairs playing acoustic music with guitars (“industrial chamber music”), Sven and Mike recorded a demo CD called “Prisoners’ Poetry” in 1998. After that, from time to time we hooked up to keep the guitars and the armchairs warm, but no new work was recorded. After a second seven-year-break we were asked to take part in the “Beyond The Horizon”-project which we did with great pleasure. If you'd like to learn more about “Beyond The Horizon”, please go here: www.myspace.com/tributetoaatt.
“Beyond The Horizon” was a new start; so we decided to do own pieces again. We finished the “Prisoners' Poetry”-circle in 2006 and right now, we are busy with new pieces which we hope to release via our own website in the near future. Prisoners' Poetry will see a release only in May 2009, but that's another story..."
Vampyramidf/F
Vampyramidf/F formed in 2008 in Boston, MA. Upon its conception, the project was intended to remain a dualistic endeavor.
F=environmentally sensitive/ritual based recording and performance
F=pure liquid/pop non-structures dissolve into soaking confusion

Phallus Dei featuring John Walker
In the beginning OLIVER ST. LINGAM releases the tapes "Pigfuck" and "Per Crucem Ad Lucem" on the "Unclean"-label under the guise of PHALLUS DEI, named after an album by Krautrock legends AMON DÜÜL. Shortly after, PHALLUS DEI signed with the label Dark Vinyl, who released the first CD "Pontifex Maximus". It is amongst the most successful debuts of an Industrial band in 1991. After a successful tour with Italian Industrial legends
SIGILLUM S, the personnel changed. MK. E. ,who was with them on tour, joined the band. Also, Dutch drummer / multi-instrumentalist RICHARD VAN KRUYSDIJK (who now also works with Niels van Hoorn (the Legendary Pink Dots) as STRANGE ATTRACTOR, and with Marie-Claudine Vanvlemen as SONAR LODGE) joined the band. The trio recorded several songs, later to be released on the album "Cyberflesh". JORIS HUIJBREGTS, who also features on this CD, played previously with Richard in the band Lament, and joined PHALLUS DEI a year later. Together they recorded the critically acclaimed albums "Pornocrates", "Luxuria" (feat. Gitane Demone), "Orpheus & Eurydice", as well as "Universum"; a CD by their ambient side-project PHD2. After Joris left in 1995, they continued as a trio, shifting their sound more and more towards electronica and experimental, cinematic music. A "best of"-CD ("Adorations") was released by Triple X in the USA, and after a period when the band members concentrated on different projects, they came back strong in 2001 with a new album: "Nature Mortes". As PHD2 they released their second album, entitled "Resource".

A Forgotten Tales
Inspired by artists like TG, NON, SWANS, DI6, the German ambient/experimental project "a forgotten tale" started writing songs in early 2000. Six years later "aft" moved to Vienna, Austria. Now, living in this "kaiserliche Reichshauptstadt" new impressions created new tales,
which will be forgotten... if no one listens.

Tearpalm
Tearpalm is a sonic cocoon knit to fit the needs of Mr M. D.- a writer, art historian, and guitar slinger for/founder member of short-lived Serbian alternative bands Future Zen Terror and Paganska ljubav. The idea behind Tearpalm was to go beyond discursive limitations of routinized treatment of musicmaking, by employing exploration of psychedelic potentials of frequency tweaking, software based simulations of tape loop/sound collage techniques and manipulating of previously recorded tracks much rather than playing live instruments.
