Rita Celia Dini Calberg was born in Brazil, moved to Sweden where she continues to live and create some indelible and delicate pieces of music. Her sound is from another place where its temptation causes the listener to enter a realm of feelings and emotions. Rita has recorded some musical project under the name Ricelli in the 1990’s.
Peter Geisheker who hails from Wisconsin is a fine arranger of microscopic proportions in terms of what he puts into a piece and what he decides to leave out. His music have been featured in films, compilations, a training DVD by the Mars Research Society. He has worked on some great pieces and recorded under the name Positively Dark in the past.
Ray Buttigieg born in Malta, moved to New York City where it became his home for the past several decades. Considered one of the first pioneers of Electronic music, an innovator of sound science as well as a composer/ producer of different styles of music that enjoyed chart success since his first hit in 1976. Making music for Ray is not only special, but sacred and spiritual, a small part of it he explains as mixing paints like a painter with his brush, but the bigger part he does not even try to understand because it comes from the realm of magic.
