Michael Una plays custom digital, acoustic, and circuit-bent instruments, with a robot drummer, for rhythmic, textured, and melodic musical experiences
Todd Thille makes sounds from the electromagnetic signals of potted plants
Guitarist Animalstyle plays through home-built 8-bit fuzz pedals and Game Boy foot controllers
Roger Tsai DJs with hand gestures using his original digital gloves "Groovy Hand"
Peter Kirn balances musical styles and Wii balance boards with a live music and keys set and vocal strains pulled from his Gmail spam folder
