Gregory Bortnichak is an electric cellist fascinated by musical and sensory extremes. Originally from Northwest NJ, he studied jazz and classical music while earning a BA in Women’s Studies at Goucher College in Baltimore, MD. He has been recording and touring throughout North America for the past 25 years, performing in experimental pop projects like Teach Me Equals and RedRumsey, noise-punk duo Sparta Philharmonic, and under his own name since 2019. Over the years he has written arrangements for numerous short films, works of modern dance, and more well-known musical outfits such as Circa Survive, Metal Hearts, Dream Tiger (feat. members of WHY?), and HeadShy (feat. members of Portishead and Massive Attack). In 2016 he began the ongoing project of arranging selected orchestral scores by Richard Wagner for solo cello and electronics, becoming the first to devise techniques to render those pieces playable on a solo instrument other than piano.

His unique guitar and percussion style conjures nature magic and manifestation, giving listeners a sound space to sink into a deep interpersonal meditation. The music consists of transcendent meditations and crystalline harmonies beating to the rhythm of open hearts.Previous projects include, Eigenlicht, Ekstasis, Fauna, Fearthainne, and more.

Quinn Trivett is an experimental cellist and violinist living in Olympia, WA. With layered cinematic compositions, she abstracts her psychological and poetic narrative to explore the tension between dormancy and catharsis, finding inspiration in the currents of homeostasis, social textures, and the flux of subjectivity.
