Steve Baczkowski (reeds) met drummer Chris Corsano in 2002, jammed at an old Buffalo, N.Y. ice factory, and went on to play together in various formations ever since: duo, trio with Paul Flaherty (The Dim Bulb, 2005, Wet Paint) and also a quartet with Flaherty and Tony Conrad. Bill Nace (guitar) met Steve in a town famous for hockey sticks, & first played together in a converted ice rink (along with Corsano as part of Thurston Moore's Dream Aktion Unit) and eventually formed a duo (Live in Buffalo, 2010, 8mm). Corsano, Nace and Baczkowski toured as a trio in 2012 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDzN5frBeJM) and released Live at Spectacle (2013, Open Mouth) as a quartet with trumpeter Greg Kelley.

Baczkowski lives in Buffalo, N.Y. where he works as a conduit for creative music of any & every sort. In addition to organizing the Buffalo Improvisers Orchestra, and the Buffalo Suicide Prevention Unit, he also performs solo, in duo with Ravi Padmanabha, Bill Sack, Nola Ranallo & Omar Tamez and in ensembles such as Organ Donor, The 12/8 Path Band, Rey Scott's Unusually Different, Necrophonia, William Parker Trance Quartet and frequent collaborations with like-souled folks from around the world. Baczkowski first performed with saxophonist Tamio Shiraishi after midnight in the Spring St. subway station in Manhattan on July 13, 2012: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xX8a7wIU61Y

Bill Nace is one of the premiere avant-garde guitarists active today. He has one of the most personal and unique pallets of sound ever to be culled from an electric guitar. Nace creates a distinct, mind-bending cacophony and focuses his textures with intense precision and control. He works under various guises, solo, a duo with Paul Flaherty, Body/Head with Kim Gordon, Northampton Wools with Thurston Moore, Ceylon Mange (with Dylan Nyoukis and Karen Constance) and more. http://openmouthrecords.blogspot.com/

Tamio Shiraishi is a NYC-based Japanese saxophonist and vocalist born in 1949. A founding member of the legendary noise unit Fushitsusha (along with Keiji Haino), saxophonist Shiraishi has had a storied career performing alongside some of the world's most significant contemporary artists. An intense and uncompromising musician, his sound is absolutely his own - conjuring an otherwordly spectrum of vibration that is simultaneously extreme and delicate. In the US, he has performed with Crash Worship, No Neck Blues Band and many more. He currently performs in subway stations after midnight.
