Jon Wheeler (Petal) currently resides in Asheville, North Carolina, where his main musical interest lies in the production of two podcasts: The Binaural Banjo and Drone Lab.

A multi-instrumentalist, Jon’s appreciation of the happy coincidence that many instruments contain metal parts finds frequent expression in the innards of his computer, where he likes to mangle samples of pretty instruments into orgies of inorganic menace.

Raumwerk is a German musical collaboration that is focused on atmosphere and emotion.

It employs accoustic instruments - guitars, sitar, rudra veena, percussion gadgets and voice - as well as electronics and synthesizers to weave a dense atmosphere, mainly of warm, relaxed character, often with a mysterious touch.

The man behind bmpf is Jason Szostek:

I have been making electronic music for 25 years. Mostly I've worked with other people, Taylor Deupree, Dietrich Schoenemann, Abe Duque, John Selway, Susanne Brokesch and others. Occasionally as bpmf and jason szostek, I've released a few 12 inches and been on some compilations. The music has ranged from "dance floor" techno, electro, new wave to ambient/chill out. I've never really been comfortable sticking to a genre. Around the turn of the century I went on hiatus from releasing records.

Ecux, the IDM/experimental project of Jason LaCombe, has been writing, recording and occasionally releasing music for what is quickly nearing a decade. Ranging from off-kilter simple exercises in rhythm to solely melodic structures and of course everywhere funky and strange in-between, he has touched on many different areas of the now common home-based electronic recording artist. Intent on expansion through unfamiliarity, Jason will be releasing only one more album of new material as ecux.

Kamil Kowalczyk aka Machine Thoughts and Maszyna_02 hails from Poland. As a youngster, he was exposed to, and begun to admire, the music of Jean Michele Jarre and Tangerine Dream. As he grew older he became interested in a variety of different electronic music styles, such as techno, trance, and ambient. To sum it up in his own words "I love any kind of electronica." He has been producing music since 2002.

Zenas Bellace has been messing around with electronic music for the better part of the last 15 years. Not one to mind jumping off the bandwagon just because it's fun to feel the breeze, he has explored a variety of different musical styles. Sometimes his music can be quite relaxed, and at others, aggressive and piercing. His style boarders on the frontier of glitchy ambience.

The December Nightskies remix by Kendall Keeler

Hey folks, I found a list of our old CDR back-catalog while exploring Internet Archive's Way Back Machine. While in the past I've tried to include as much of this content in our newer digital catalog, some great releases have gone unloved since then. I'm going to be trying to get permission (and for some I already have) to re-release a lot of this list (if it already hasn't been). So check back for some "new" old and "out of print" Zenapolæ. Read more for the full list...
