Emlyn Ellis Addison was born in Somerset West, South Africa. He emigrated to the United States in 1990, studying music theory and composition at the Arizona State University School Of Music, then graduate studies in music composition and new media at the California Institute Of The Arts.
Working under the artist name clocolan, Addison shapes imaginary spaces from original writings and the found sounds of generations of abandoned ideologies. His creative thirst dawned in South Africa: a childhood of neglected hinterlands, eroded topology, unconquered vastness. From it emerged a nostalgic, lo-fi, vintage electronica; expansive themes lost in the background noise of human affairs. A long formal training in music traced an unlikely path to an awakening: new modes of expression materialized from knob-twiddling and endless textural cravings. But the beauty of structure and melodic arcs are never far beneath the surface. Addison reaches for a musical cohesion that feels tenuous: the thin line that separates incidental harmonics from conscious expression.
Addison lives in Providence, Rhode Island.- Additional Crew

Dale Tarter was born on 4 June 1941 in West Somerset, Kentucky, USA. He was an actor, known for Mission: Impossible (1966), Mannix (1967) and Bad Dreams (1988). He died on 11 March 2011 in Hollywood, California, USA.- Chris McGregor was a pianist and arranger who loved people and the music of the people. His starting point was always the people - when he arranged he arranged parts for a specific person. His own songs were usually about people - Bakwetha, Maxine, Andromeda, Mandisa. Even when the name did not reflect it his songs were about people - Mayibuye is a song for Nelson Mandela, Dakar celebrates the ground-breaking meeting of people from the liberation movement with people from South Africa. His music rhythmically and harmonically was rooted in the music of the amaXhosa people among whom he grew up, and the sounds of the Xhosa students singing, in their own inimitable way, the music of the Scottish Church. But his music was not in any way an exercise in nostalgia - he was passionately concerned about issues of the day, environmental degradation, the politics of exploitation, racism, the nuclear threat. All of these were part of his experience and showed in various ways in his music which was sophisticated without being esoteric. People could and did dance to his music. Wherever he played he spread joy and fun. Because he believed in people and wanted his music to be for the people.
