Honne Wells Honne Wells hails from America’s Bible Belt South. It is there that he has been mining below the “underground” music scene for the past four years. After settling in Baltimore, Wells, originally billed as the solo act “Honey Waller,” brought to the Mason Dixon line a deep southern depression era repose. For Honne Wells, the destitution of Baltimore paralleled the desperation of a pre-war America. Wells’ developed his style of over-driven, primitive amplification and performance using pre-war methodologies spit through electrical processes... ...In 2006, Wells left the city of Baltimore for New York. He began experimenting with techniques in recording; primarily with orthophonics and wax cylinder technologies. Today, Honne Wells continues his studies in orthophonic recording and audio documentation. He has given more than a dozen musical demonstrations articulating a focus on acoustic sound. Wells releases his recordings for study and preservation with the local group Yell-O-Faith Archive that deal predominantly with his work, and act as distributor for Wells’ recordings. Honne Wells currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. http://www.myspace.com/honnewells

Hans Gullickson Hans Gullickson is a multi-media artist working with the idea of change to produce results other then what would be expected. Also, he likes to explore what is and what isnt. The video "Listening In" is part of a bigger project surrounding the spirit doll "Maiko" and her world. http://www.flickr.com/photos/8714738@N06/ Leyna Marika Papach and Jerry Smith "See Through the Air" is part 1 of a music / video collaboration between Leyna Marika Papach and Jerry Smith. The video explores how ordinary objects and spaces can become emotional emblems. Symbolic meaning is suggested but not sealed. Characters and spaces, a masked figure (Leyna Marika Papach), a bouquet of flowers, a forest, an apartment interior, coexist in mystery and melancholy. Influenced by the work of Jean Vigo, Maya Deren and Eugene Atget, the video is a study in metaphysical presence and atmosphere.
