Jonathan Kane is a Downtown NYC legend — as co-founder of the no-wave behemoth Swans, and the rhythmic thunder behind the massed-guitar armies of Rhys Chatham and the rock excursions of La Monte Young and one of the hardest-hitting drummers on the planet.

Jonathan Kane’s February takes minimalism and blues to the crossroads with “the unadulterated thunder of a parched desert” (Time Out NY, 2009). The band recorded their first live album in a two-day event at ISSUE last year, to be released on Table of the Elements/Radium Records.

Tony Conrad teaches on the media study faculty of SUNY at Buffalo. Over the last twenty years he has been especially active in video. His work with music composition and performance started while he was a mathematics student, after which he was associated with the founding of “minimal” music and “underground” film. His movie The Flicker is one of the key early works of the “structural” film movement. His art videotapes are widely seen, and he has produced more than 250 programs for public access cable in Buffalo. Conrad performs his recent music regularly at festivals, clubs and new music venues in the US and Europe.

Igor Cubrilovic is a composer,  producer, and a guitarist. Glacier Series is set of compositions which were composed over last 3 years, since he relocated from New York City to Geneva, Switzerland.

Igor was a member of Jonathan Kane’s February and produced both the luminous first and long awaited second albums. He was a lead guitarist in Rhys Chatham Guitar Army, and is now active in the European Improv scene with Duet/Duel Series, and composes for film and modern dance.

He studied architecture in Belgrade, sound technology in Stockholm, sound installation in London, and is now pursuing his interest in psycho-acoustics and traditional music of the Balkans. He does not like to record his work.
