BENOÎT PIOULARD bio:
Since a young age, Thomas Meluch has been fascinated by natural sounds and the textures of decay. He began playing piano before his feet could reach the pedals, and for more than a decade has sought to create a unique sonic environment by combining remnants of pop song structures with the lushness and unpredictability of field recordings. A veteran drummer of a half dozen bands and an avid collector of instruments and analog devices, Meluch relies on guitar and voice as the bases for his work as Benoît Pioulard.

CASPAR SONNET bio:
It is said that an impressive environment will birth an impressive artist. This adage is proven true with experimental composer, D. Reuben Snyder (aka Caspar Sonnet). The multi-instrumentalist, singer-song writer currently resides in Portland, Oregon, but grew up in the rolling hills of Southeastern Washington, under the shadow of the Hanford nuclear site. His unusual song structure and haunting vocals have been inspired by eclectic sources, including: Native American mythology and music, 16th century, Italian composer, Carlo Gesualdo, and contemporary, American, minimalist composer Morton Feldman. In April 2013, Snyder, as Caspar Sonnet, released his debut album, Identify, on the Marriage Records’ label.
Snyder is a musician of many talents. In addition to his solo work; Snyder records and preforms with experimental electronic collective, Rob Walmart. The group includes Adam Forkner (White Rainbow) and poet Tom Blood. In 2010, Snyder collaborated with Jona Bechtolt, of YACHT, as a keyboardist and backup vocalist on the European LCD Sound System tour. Currently, Snyder is working on his second album as Caspar Sonnet, entitled, Kennewick Man. Kennewick Man, and two forthcoming albums, comprise a triptych that will pay homage to the deserts of Southeastern Washington, where Snyder was raised.

JORDAN DYKSTRA bio:
