Sghor - Hailing from Poland, Sghor started producing music in 2004 under the name "Allen". The name was changed to Sghor in 2006 along with a shift towards producing more ambient compositions. Now with several albums to their credit in the ambient/ experimental genre and a few ventures into dark metal, Sghor has proven a profound mastery of a black and hypnotic ambient style which reflects the beauty of cold landscapes and the deep mysteries of the dark - both frightening and eternally emotional. A raw beauty cries out from beneath the gentle layers of lost worlds of sonic restlessness.

Stereocaine - a project that was set up as a kind of a musical experiment. It came out on the medley “Strange Attractor” issued by The net-label Kaos Ex Machina. A few months later, the same publishing house released a mini album “Closed Eye Visuals”. The music, created under the banner of Stereocaine, is the most easy to describe as a mixture of the dark ambient with elements of the neoclassical music. It is enough to probe into the music to find echoes of other musical genres.

b°tong - is Chris Sigdell, former member of NID (1995 - 2005), and guitarist/singer in Phased. b°tong reaches for the nether regions of experimental electronic sound but is never quite serious. Born in the winter of 2004, b°tong has since appeared at renowned music festivals (Sinus-Series, Ausklang, Shift, Lab 30), various radio-stations, and toured extensively throughout Europe, Russia, U.S.A. & Canada. b°tong sometimes likes to collaborate with like-minded spirits, doing installation ("Polarkreis" & "95°" with artists Gierlich/Schuler) and video projects ("Images" with Ulrich Fischer). The video to "Sphere II" (Polar:is CD) was shown at the 2007 Miami Art Fair as part of the Urban Nomad collective; the video to "Black Dog Dream" (Structures CD) was shown in Bejing 2008 and 2009 (along with a video of "95°").

b°tong's music varies from dark ambient layers of sound, brooding drones, itchy-scratchy tones to weird electronics and/or harsh noise. b°tong deconstructs and recycles samples from television, radio and/or films, he records natural and artificial sounds, and he processes and distorts his own voice.
In a live situation, he uses microphones, sampler, and "instruments" such as: metal sheet and spring, various kitchen utensils and an orgon emitter. The sounds thus generated are run through various effects giving birth to images of darkness and tranquility, the solitude of icy polar night, or the equivalent of an underwater journey down a bottomless pit!
