Banana Lazuli is a Canadian-Peruvian composer and performer from Montreal, Canada. She uses harmonium, thumb piano and hand-held gadgets to create lush sound-scapes and poetic song narratives. Her work explores many different musical traditions, and her studies in anthropology and linguistics have led her to experiment with various vocal techniques from South America and Asia. She is the co-founder of the Haunted Clockwork art collective and record label, and a founding member of the Experimental Choir of Montreal. A refreshing blend of experimental folk and cosmic pop, Banana's music will both relax the mind and uplift the soul. Her most recent album, "The Cosmic Love Collage", will be released in early 2012 on Visionquest Music, an electronic music label based in Berlin. More info...
Janina Angel Bath is a multi-instrumentalist, composer and sonic channeler from Chicago. She is the love child of Eastern-tinged folk Raga roots meeting the lysergic depth of psychedelic free jazz only to arrive at its own unique voice, as iconoclastic as it is immersed in tradition, spontaneous as it is rehearsed, ephemeral as it is eternal. She plays the Native American flute, and is trained in North Indian classical music. She has recently started a vintage clothing and mystical shop named The Tarot Woman in Berkeley and is well-known for her insightful tarot readings. More info...
Joss Jaffe began playing guitar and writing songs at age 9. Introduced to the music of India through the chanting of his parents and their meditation teacher Baba Muktananda, he began studying tabla, sarode & vocal from Montino Bourbon at 15, & later, Ali Akbar Khan, Swapan Chaudhuri & Zakir Hussain. Joss has accompanied Jai Uttal, Steve Kimock, Alex Grey, Rachel Brice, Silvia Nakkach & Shimshai. More info...
