Personnel

Richard Lewis, mastermind and professor, more nurturing than he cares to admit, has finally learned the theremin and the vocoder, both of which have been lifelong goals. He was once in the 80's pop group Movieland, album and video on RCA records, if you can find them. He was also part of the influential cult band called the Jellies.

Jim Forrest, mastermind and designer; most people think he roams the Peabody Essex Museum and contemplates all day, and they're right! But he also makes time to write songs with guitar, moog synth, melodica, cowbell, and code! He's also a good ol' printmaker and multimedia artist when time allows.

Emily Halpern Lewis, master harpist, has a penchant for designer bags and losing her keys. She has played professionally for many years, with such artists as Ray Charles, Barry Manilow and Yes. She teaches harp at a few fancy schools, too.

Spiridoula Politis, singer, percussionist, and do-gooder extraordinaire, has been rocking her Vishuddha chakra since the age of 3. By day, she teaches Art (and the moonwalk) to middle school students. Outside of that, she likes to smile and make stuff, like food and art, and has a studio in Somerville, MA.

Matt Natti, didgeridoo player, percussionist, lover of life. As a professional arborist, he was gifted a hollow log from the "tree gods" and made his first didge over 6 years ago and has spent countless hours making fart noises in order to gain proficiency playing this aboriginal Australian instrument. He has been playing around with drums for years, though entirely self taught. On his free time, he enjoys rock climbing anytime the weather permits.

Olga Kouznetsova, violin. Olga has been on the frontier of Boston's music scene for over 15 years and can be heard in the finest orchestras of the New England area. In addition, she has performed with celebrities such as Andrea Bocelli, Aretha Franklin, Johnny Mathis, Burt Bacharach and the Moody Blues.
