In Iceland, Thomas Stankiewicz contemplates the constant flux of the elements. A composer & musician in his own right, he selectively weaves in between soundtracks, classical music, and evocative ambient sounds, symphonically unveiling untold stories from past and future… @tommmasi
There's an old Brian Eno quote that is inevitably referenced when talking about the Velvet Underground - something along the lines of "They only sold 30,000 copies of their first album, but everyone who bought the album started a band". It's slightly inaccurate (they sold a lot more copies), but the message is clear: few bands have had such an outsized, potent, and wide reaching effect on the musicians that followed in their footsteps. Their stubborn desire to continually approach songwriting from the left field, and continuous sonic reinvention reverberated for decades, influencing punk, post-punk, art rock, ambient music, even notably influencing real political revolution in Czechoslovakia. Two hours of The Velvets' best, selected and mixed by Claire Rousay.

Aaron Spectre is an American musician, currently residing in Berlin, Germany. Although Spectre produces in a variety of genres, he is most well known for his energetic live sets comprising of multiple MIDI controllers in addition to his laptop and most recently an electric guitar. Since relocating to Berlin in 2003 from New York, Spectre has played all over Europe and recently completed a tour of Japan.
A classically trained percussionist, Spectre began performing as a drummer for bands in the Massachusetts hardcore scene as a teenager. Since then, he began performing as a solo act with his laptop and initially a dulcimer, before evolving into current set up. Though he rarely plays his dulcimer live, he remains a dulcimer enthusiast, having lectured and performed at the Cork Dulcimer Festival in Ireland.
Also see Drumcorps.
bio from http://www.aaronspectre.com : Aaron Spectre started out playing drums in central Massachusetts hardcore bands at age 16. At 19 he moved to New York City and began DJing and producing Jungle, Drum & Bass, and Ambient music. He moved to Berlin at 23, released several sold-out vinyl 12"s, and began touring on the strength of his live sets. Aaron started Drumcorps at 24, adding live guitar to his sets, as always bringing raw energy and enthusiasm from his hardcore days. He’s since maintained a ferocious tour schedule throughout Europe, North America, and Japan, and he just released his first full-length Drumcorps CD on Ad Noiseam / Cock Rock Disco. In between the touring madness, Aaron produces a whole range music from dubstep to jungle to ambient, each style informing the other.
