David Behrman studied with Henri Pousseur in Belgium. Although he wrote several instrumental works, he is best known for his electronic work and producing several important avant-garde LPs for Columbia.

PAUL DeMARINIS has created numerous performance works, sound and computer installations and interactive electronic inventions. Much of his recent work involves speech processed and synthesized by computers. A recent series of installation works, The Edison Effect, uses optics and computers to make new sounds by scanning ancient phonograph records with lasers.

ANNE KLINGENSMITH takes on vocal duties and has worked with artists david rosenboom and jaques bakeart
