BERNHARD WÖSTHEINRICH: Bernhard leads his own solo
project "The Redundant Rocker" and his main collaborator is Markus
Reuter (in CENTROZOON). He has also worked with Ian Boddy, Klaus
Hoffmann-Hoock, No-Man singer Tim Bowness, Conrad Schnitzler (Cluster,
Tangerine Dream), and Synapscape's Philipp Münch.
Bernhard elicits meaning from abstraction in electronic music and
painting. He has studied graphic design and has created an
eclectic body of work in both graphics and music. Using a
compositional approach akin to his work as a visual artist,
Bernhard usually begins by improvising abstract sonic structures
which are subsequently developed into an increasingly detailed
aural picture.

TIM MOTZER: Based in Philadelphia, this guitarist and
composer finds infinite joy in diversity. His output as a leader
and sideman crisscrosses multiple musical universes, including
jazz, fusion, prog, hip-hop, soul, electronica, and the avantgarde.
Motzer gets to explore these genres and the intersections between
them via his ubiquitous presence in the wildly deep and varied
Philly scene, where he can be found working with the likes of
DJ/Producer King Britt, spoken word/hip-hop artist Ursula Rucker,
and jazz-fusion bassist Jamaaladeen Tacuma. He also traverses
manifold territories through the many albums released on his own
1k Recordings label, including the expansive, laidback song forms
of Nucultures, the crunchy jazz-funk of Jazzheads, and the solo
soundscapes of his Tilomo alias.
