Visual and vocal  artist  Anna Homler's  alternative languages   extend the possibilities of meaning and communication.   With a sensibility that is both ancient and post-modern,  Homler makes words musical and music  like words.   Since 1982, she has collaborated  in America with composer/musicians  Steve Moshier,   David Moss,  Ethan James,  and Jorge  Martin;  and in Europe with the Voices of Kwahn Steve Beresford,  Peter  Kowald,  Frank Schulte,  Richard Sanderson,  Geert  Waegeman,  and Sylvia Hallett,  among others. She   has performed  at well-known venues throughout the United states and Europe.   She has been  called "  a  cross between  Robert Wilson  and Astrid  Gilberto."

"...a singer who can take the audience by the hand and lead them along the weird path between atmospherics  and surreal humor. A witch  with a few home-brewed spells  and a ray gun."    Resonance

Michael Delia is an artist whose work spans a wide range of disciplines and media encompassing paintings, sculpture, installations, and sound art as well as music performances. Central to his visceral work is an irrefutable yet delicate sense of beauty combined with a lingering sense of histories past. Both Delia’s paintings and self-made instruments seemingly transcend time and space, often touching on the ephemeral. His musical instruments and installations are interesting not only from the acoustic but also from the visual point of view. Inspired by the musical heritage of various ethnic and cultural provenances, a contemporary DIY-man Delia constructs his instruments and acoustic objects from found and banal materials. In so doing this, he combines the verified achievements of inventive organologies with the rational musical systems of the 20th century. Delia’s music is crystally microtonal and meditative, but can also be dramatically majestic. Michael Delia has presented his art at various American and European venues, including Experimental Intermedia, The Knitting Factory and Exit Art in New York, Stichting Logos in Gent, Het Apollohuis in Eindhoven, Hermit in Plasy, Sound Off and The Rosenberg Museum in Slovakia, Rudolfinum in Prague, Sklenìná Louka in Brno, Kép-Ze-Let in Tatabánya and Mamu Galerie in Budapest.
