Cinematic Sunrise is a side project of Chiodos' Craig Michael Owens and Bradley Bell. However, instead of the crunching guitars and blazing synthesizers of Chiodos, the sound of this Michigan five-piece features acoustic guitars and mellow vocals interspersed with the occasional piano.

ROMAN STOLYAR "One of the best of a new trend of modern Russian composers." - Expose The Russian free jazz innovator and members of the CalArts Improvisation Ensemble weave together a series of new collaborative multimedia works developed using Stolyar’s unique “Improvising Orchestra” methodology. In a continuance of their ongoing collaboration, Chase and Allen join Stolyar, forging ahead into uncharted aesthetic territory. This project was first begun in Siberia between Allen and Stolyar following an arts conference that touched on improvised music as a means for transnational communication. The performers: As a piano improviser, Roman Stolyar has collaborated with musicians from across the globe, including Anatoly Vapirov (Bulgaria), Carl Bergstroem-Nielsen (Denmark), Hans Schuettler, Heinz-Erich Goedecke, Ge-Suk Yeo (Germany), free jazz groups Kieloor Entartet and Day & Taxi (Switzerland), the Cohen family (Israel) and others. He has collaborated with numerous choreographers such as Nelson Fernandes, Christin Carter, Marina Collard (UK), Colin Connor (USA), Randall Scott (Holland), Torbjorn Sternberg (Sweden) and others. He has released CDs under the labels of Ermatell Records (Novosibirsk), Electroshock Records (Moscow) and Intuitive Records (Denmark). In 2000 Stolyar was chosen as a member of the Russian Composers' Union. He became a Vice Chairman of Siberian branch of Composers' Union in 2001 and sits on the Board of Advisors of the International Society for Improvising Music. rstmusic.narod.ru Susan Allen has performed and toured with American legend, Dr. Yusef Lateef, SONOR, Composers in Red Sneakers, San Francisco Contemporary Music Players, Musica Viva, Speculum Musicae, and many orchestras. She has been active in studio recording in the Los Angeles area for Universal, Paramount, and Warner Brothers. She received grants from the Martha Baird Rockefeller Fund for Music, the Massachusetts Arts Council and the Gaudeamus Foundation. She has lectured internationally on both the harp and music pedagogy and has served as a panelist for the National Endowment for the Arts. Her records are on the Flying Fish, Black Saint/Soul Note, 1750 Arch, Meta, Vox, Galaxia, Nonesuch, and Opal/Warner Brothers and Ermatell labels. music.calarts.edu/~susie www.summerharpcourse.com Nicholas Chase's interactive visual work with the improvising trio NIRUSU III (Chase, Allen, Pearson) has been acclaimed by the LA Weekly as "pushing the edge of audio/visual improv." In this appearance at REDCAT, Chase explores the possibility of a dynamic, spontaneously composed visual narrative that includes animated film, vector generated graphics, and electro-acoustic musical improvisation, performed by Chase and Stolyar together. Nicholas Chase has received numerous awards for his compositional work, including the Andy Warhol Prize given jointly by the Philadelphia Classical Symphony and the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts. Chase is founder of the LA-based Musical Arts/Sound Laboratory (www.mas-lab.org) who premiered Yusef Lateef's String Quartet No. 1 (Bismilah) in collaboration with REDCAT in 2005, and founding director of the the Egg Ensemble, the creative team responsible for the trans-disciplinary serial (The Enigma of Salvador) Dali's Egg, which has been presented at venues in Hollywood, San Francisco, Las Vegas and Helsinki (www.dalisegg.com). www.nicholaschase.net This event is funded in part by a grant from the Trust for Mutual Understanding.

Particle MySpace - http://www.myspace.com/particle Since forming in the fall of 2000, Particle has enjoyed a successful ride that has taken them to eight countries for over 850 shows including Europe and Japan. After a whimsical San Francisco boat cruise, a musical bond was surged that was would take core Particle members Eric Gould, Steve Molitz, and Darren Pujalet on a sonic adventure that’s strong to this day. Particle forged their signature sound playing late night parties and high profile festivals across the country including Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits Festival, Coachella, and New Orleans Jazzfest to name a few. The band has also appeared at Bonnaroo three times where they played a legendary five plus hour set beginning at 3am. Once dubbed the 'late night kings', Particle has garnered a lot of hype for creating a series of out of the box special events across the country. In 2004, the band released their debut album Launchpad produced by Tom Rothrock to critical praise from fans and media alike. Rolling Stone, The New York Times, and URB ran glowing features on the band and the Associated Press named the album among the year’s Top Ten. The album’s title track was remixed by Groove Armada’s Tom Findlay and released as an EP later that same year. Shortly thereafter, Particle formed a percussive driven electronic side project with Grateful Dead percussionist Mickey Hart called Hydra and created an entire new repertoire for the tour. A sonic shift happened, allowing the band to add new directions to their already diverse style. With the addition of Ben Combe on guitar and vocals, the band released a DVD and Live CD featuring special guests Joe Satriani, Robbie Krieger, Blackalicious, and DJ Logic. They also recorded a song for the Scarface: The World Is Yours Video Game entitled American Dream. Particle is currently recording their sophomore studio effort with producer Steve Goldman and engineer Marc Johnson to be released in 2007.

With the April 1st release of Muse’s new live DVD, HAARP, the band has set up five special screenings of the new DVD around the country for fans and press to attend which will coincide with the release of the DVD. Muse will release a super-limited HAARP DVD/CD Special Edition containing full video and audio sets from the band’s command performances at Wembley Arena on June 16th and 17th 2007. The set also contains a rare set of 3 postcards and exclusive backstage footage of the band. With only 1,000 copies available, this is a must have for any Muse fanatic and is only available online at the Warner Bros. record store! Filmed at London’s Wembley Stadium on June 17, 2007, the DVD captures the exuberant spectacle of the band performing in front of a sold-out crowd of nearly 75,000 ecstatic fans. The CD features audio from the band’s show on the previous night, June 16th. The power-trio’s performance style can be described as a potent blend of Pink Floyd’s arresting stage show with the bombast of U2 firing on all cylinders! Both discs include tracks from their latest album, Black Holes and Revelations, including Modern Rock chart hits “Knights of Cydonia,” “Starlight,” and “Supermassive Black Hole.” Admission with DVD purchase at show or win tickets on KROQ.com
