Field Rotation
Field Rotation was founded 2008 by the electronic music composer and producer Christoph Berg in Kiel, northern Germany. Experimenting with electronic and classical elements this project combines floating soundscapes with electroacoustic colours to create minimalistic soundtracks renouncing of visualisation but interacting with the listeners emotions and feelings. As a violinist and pianist Christoph combines the synthetic sound engineering with natural sounds to communicate his short acoustic tales and impressions.

Origamibiro
Origamibiro is the pseudonym of musician and producer, Thomas Hill. Originally from Beckenham in Kent, Tom moved to Nottingham in 2000 where he still lives, writing music and producing soundtracks for film and animations.
Formerly one half of the electronica duo, Wauvenfold with Noel Murphy (aka Visual Display Unit / Bury & Disinter) Tom released material on Wichita Records and produced other works under his old solo alias – Penfold Plum (it is the name Penfold that gave birth to the title ‘Origami-Biro’).
His debut with Expanding Records, ‘Cracked Mirrors and Stopped Clocks’, saw Tom shift away from his beat driven method of synthetic sound-design to sculpt an album of interlacing classical guitar-part harmonies and textural samples – including the creaks of chairs and all the knocks, scrapes, bumps and other by-products that come with playing a wooden instrument.
The result is an intimate and delicate, broken, organic sound that is both hauntingly vivid and atmospheric, whilst managing to retain some of those glitchy electronic characteristics that earned Wauvenfold its reputation among the likes of Björk, Super Furry Animals and John Peel himself.

offthesky
Since Jason Corder decided that becoming a weather man was farcely over-rated, he coined the ambiguously fitted moniker "offthesky" which was in reality birthed in transit of his experimenting with converting chaos theories (especially those relating to weather systems*) into musical forms. And really its just an apropos title summating this atmospheric and acoustic communal project emanating from his studio in Kentucky ergo USA. Sounds pretentious I know, but offthesky is truly a humble handle that reflects both Jason's mild manered nature and his "in-the-clouds" mind-set when relating to others. His musical miasmatic manifestations are loosely inspired by chaos theory mathematics, dark foreboding jazz, and various natural susbstances...

Iambic
At the age of 21, with two full albums already released, another in progress and other songs appearing on various compilations, the London based producer Guy Andrews (aka iambic) is already making his mark in the electronic music scene.
The iambic project is loosely based around the ambient genre but takes influences from genres such as jazz, idm, post-rock, hip hop and more. The music is aimed at capturing the vibe that was present at the time of recording, whether it be evocative, relaxed or melancholic; the listener should be able to either pick up on these emotions or interpret it in their own way.

Rekalix
“Rekalix is Andrew Lintern, ambient electronica composer/producer from Southampton, UK, and has been creating ambient music, and performing it live since the age of 18. His creations fuse atmospheric soundscapes with delicately manipulated sounds, to create minimal, melodic sculptures of ambience on a backdrop of tranquil stillness. This style of ambient music allows those who listen to appreciate the senses that certain sounds can awaken inside them. As well as producing these distant soundscapes, he also runs the UK side of Kuurort Records, a label that focuses on music with a faraway sound. Based in Estonia since 2002, Kuurort Records is now expanding to the UK as it grows ever larger.
Rekalix joined Kuurort Records in 2006, after being invited by label owner Kaido Kirikmae (a well known character in the Baltic ambient/electronic scene) to perform live on his weekly show on Raadio 2 in Tallinn, Estonia. Following this the debut Rekalix album, 'Zykancialuu', was released on Kuurort. Later in 2006, one of the songs from this album also featured on the Kuurort Records compilation 'Kuumaastikud'.
2007 brought more one night indoor events, and festival appearances across Europe. Earlier in the year, Rekalix had befriended the UK based White Label Music, and after being asked to do a release for them, the latest Rekalix album 'Frozen Planet' was released on WLM in August 2007. Following its release, 'Frozen Planet' went on to receive a number of very promising and highly impressive reviews."

Hybernation
Even from a young age I was tapping out rhythms, with cutlery, sticks, my hands on my knees. Rhythms fascinated me. That’s why I listened to metal from around the age of 13. The complexities, time changes, speed, all accomplished with the use of just four limbs. Among my early heroes were Mick Harris (Napalm Death) and Pete Sandoval (Morbid Angel), both of whom I saw live. Teaching myself to play, I started a death metal band from the age of 19, to try to emulate what I had seen and heard, and went on to play gigs around London and the South East. We also recorded and released a couple of demo's. After 4 years I felt the need to diversify, for something a little different, so I left the band and joined a punk rock band. We recorded a cd and played many gigs for overs 6 years.
Rhythms aren't only just confined to music. I became aware of the repetitions and routines within nature (birds migrating and swarming), the body (heartbeat and footsteps), machines and cities. Take for example the pedestrian crossing. The accumulation of pedestrians at a red light waiting for the traffic to stop, and then the sudden rush across the road with the appearance of the green man, only to last for a while until the red man appears and the traffic passes again. Time lapse photography makes this more apparent, but the ebbs and flows are still there.
In 1999 I invested in a computer and some sequencing software to start making my own beats. A whole new world quickly opened up to me, a world where I could make beats that I could never play with just two arms and two legs. But I became bored of using the same old pre-programmed drum sounds and started to record sounds from around the house onto a mini disc with a microphone. I edited the sounds and started to make beats with them. Then I ventured outside, to collect everyday sounds from the local environment, my place of work, in fact anywhere and everywhere.
With my recorder and sequencer I could start to make sense of the discordant, disjointed busy world around me and make some sense of what is going on, to have some kind of understanding about what makes the world revolve, how things all have their place within the environment and how they all seemingly work together. But most importantly, how I fit in to the world as a whole and to try to have a place within it which has some assemblance of order and harmony.

Along with running the Fluid projects his main love has always been Djing.
