Chris Child, aka “Kodomo,” lives and works in New York City as a full-time composer, and is known for his music featured in television, independent film and video games. He has done remixes for several bands and artists, including Freezepop, Omar Faruk, Dead Radar, Xandy Barry, and Sara Fimm. His music is featured in the Harmonix PS2 video games "Amplitude", "Frequency", and in the iPod video game "Phase". He has also composed music for several independent films, including the award-winning documentary "Silences" by director Octavio Graham.

Using recycled beats and his penchant for minimalism and film music, he’s managed to create a compelling form of impressionist electro that emphasizes warm sounds, melodic development and pulsing beats. His cinematic landscapes explore conceptual & sonic possibilities evoked by a sensory mix of images, science, weather, nature, spaces, and experiences. His debut album, "Still Life", was released on 5 Points Records, in October 2008.

Recently he began collaborating with video artist Holly Danger. Holly is a full-time designer/videographer who has a love for translating textures, layers, color & collage into visual music through the eye of design. Her ongoing projects range from graphic and motion design, concert videos, movie trailers, documentaries, festival installations, and live video projections for synchronized audio/visual performances.

Together they have performed in NYC & Montreal, and hope to travel and build their work as they continue to shape and re-imagine the possibilities of their live performances.

Live hardware electro-freak-out duo ATTN: have been a fixture of the Brooklyn underground since their conception in 2007. They've rocked warehouses, clubs, farms, and bedrooms... hauling a car-load of hardware and surprises wherever duty calls. ATTN: is Cheryl Kingan (on synths, sax, vocals, and signal processing) and Karl Scholz (on drum machines, sequencer, and synths) and together they've crafted a unique strain of infectious dance cacophony. Cheryl is a member of Mannequin Circus and The Scene is Now. She is also in the cast of the ongoing stage-soap "Room For Cream" and does lots of other cool stuff. Karl is a sound designer, artist, and resident DJ at Rubulad.

ATTN: will be accompanied on visuals by The Spermwhale, who creates fascinating interactive cartoon worlds via home brewed software. More info below!
