Bio:
Aranos (pronounced aranyosh) was born in Bohemia (now a part of Czech Republic). He has performed as a singer and instrumentalist since the age of 8 in folk ensembles, jazz bands, rock groups, gypsy bands, ceilidh bands and as a solo artist. Written and composed in various styles from classical music to rock.
He has performed and composed in dissident theatres in former Czechoslovakia. Aranos sings and plays violin, viola, cello, bass, guitar, mandolin, piano, keyboards, banjo, Chinese and Japanese flutes, santoor, drums, percussion, etc.
Aranos has recorded Traditional Irish, East European, gypsy and folk albums and CDs. Recently concentrating on experimental electro acoustic music mostly recorded in his own 24 track recording studio and released in Great Britain and France.
Aranos has written soundtracks to videos and fllms as well as theatre e.g. Spell of the Megamall - a multimedia production with Theatre Omnibus and Disabled People of Clare, "Spirit" - an experimental electro acoustic tone poem mini opera in collaboration with a renown writer and poet Max Hafler.
Aranos collaborates on a regular basis with Steven Stapleton of Nurse With Wound, David Tibet and Current 93.
Aranos set up his own recording company "Pieros" to release "Making Love in Small Spaces" and future CDs.
In live shows Aranos plays violin and sings with a backing he recorded himself, performing East European gypsy music and song and compositions from his recent CDs.
Z'ev (born Stefan Weiser) straddles the nearly unbridgeable and highly volatile gulf between the art world and the music industry. Acclaimed as one of the world's best and most original percussionists, Weiser began recording in the late '60s in a handful of psych-out projects. By the late '70s, he took on the Z'ev moniker to explore the "spatial poetics" of the polyrhythmic clamor he had established with his hand-built percussive instruments. His dozens of collaborative projects expanded to include work with John Cage, Glenn Branca, The Hafler Trio, Psychic TV, and Rhythm & Noise
Translating Z'ev's kinetic performances onto sound-only recorded media does him a bit of an injustice, for it is an awesome sight to witness him heave a kinetic sculpture across a stage. These hulking percussive instruments, culled from the junkyards of the globe, consist of unwieldy pieces of sheet metal, giant coil springs, innumerable interconnected pipes, and several dozen 10-gallon plastic water bottles connected with heavy chains. Z'ev gracefully hurls the sculptures/instruments across the stage as a physical extension of his body, imbuing his crescendos of intense rhythmic crashing with a surprisingly calligraphic quality. While Z'ev occasionally goes into the studio to fabricate an explosive dynamic range, he sometimes sets up a couple of microphones in a large space and records a performance. The excerpt from Ghost Stories was recorded in such a manner at the Wang Concert Hall in Amsterdam. "Act One: Scene Three/Base Drums," "Act Three: Scene Four/New Titans," and "Act Four: Scene Four/Wayang" are all from Opus 3.1, which was recorded in the De Duif church (also in Amsterdam).
Jon Whitney is the ruler of the brainwashed domain.

This should be most excellent.
