Liz Allbee is a voracious musician whose work spans many genres, encompassing new music, improvisation, electronic composition, Asian folk and pop, noise, minimalist, free jazz and experimental rock. She plays in the pop band Neung Phak, in the experimental Neanderthal troubaduo Marauder and Alibi, and in the Jon Raskin Quartet, and has performed and recorded with a wide array of musicians.

Oberlin Conservatory of Music graduate Christopher Riggs draws equally from the worlds of Michigan Noise, European Free Improvisation, and his classical training to create a language of effects-pedal-less extended guitar techniques that are uniquely his own.
