He began to record solo in 1993 after re-establishing contact with Martin, who was just starting Visible Records. Seofon immediately joined the Visible collective, devoted to seeing the emergence of experimental electronic music in the United States. Inspirations include "other music, other people, and the spiritual and paranormal". He thrives on revolution and discovery, and threatens to be "unpredictable" on subsequent projects. This, his debut album, compiles remixes and edited versions of works from the Access and Process e.p.'s, as well as new material. Included is the previously unreleased original vocal version of "The Joyning". Most of Seofon's work to date has been as producer for the Ambient Temple of Imagination, a collective devoted to activating the world's imagination through experimentation and the public ritual use of magic and sound. 1999 saw a collaborative release with fellow ATOI contributor Thermal entitled A Monument of Chance.

Recorded at On One Studio. Design and layout by M. Bond at Visible Design Studio. All songs published by Visible Interactive Music (ASCAP) ©1994 Visible Productions		Joey started DJing in the early '80s, inspired by music coming out of Chicago, particularly Trax Records and Dance Mania. He began producing records in 1989 for New Groove and Atmosphere, and in 1990 Joey began working with R&S Records in Belgium, producing such famous releases as "Mentasm", "My Sound", "Vortex", and the seminal "Energy Flash". While he continues to put his music out on Trax, Beltram's sound is still fresh in '94 on such labels as Warp, Trax, and Visible. Joey's other inspirations are things in his everyday life artwork, movies, artists such as HR Giger, and the NYC subway graffiti. He also gets many of his new inspirations from the atmosphere at his gigs that cover the US as well as overseas. Indeed, Joey is first and foremost a DJ. If he can't find the music he wants to to hear in the stores, he makes it himself; and thus he is able to be totally in control of his sets, which are uniquely self- expressive, and awesome to experience. The Aonox project, exclusive to Visible Records, has Joey charting previously undiscovered territory. It was borne when Joey could not be producing his usual harder material, in consideration of sleeping neighbors or his own fatigue. Aonox has a slower, deeper, more ambient sound, yet retains Beltram's innate power and characteristic style.

Antihouse, are devoted to ambient music because of its dissolution of boundaries. To them, ambient is not "drifty floaty music"; it is a realm where anything is possible. Jimmy, the main songwriter and electronics expert, is a recording arts major and music director for KXLU, while Dave focuses on visual and graphic art, writing music, and being the voice for Antihouse. Both are in indie-rock bands outside of Antihouse, and have developing solo projects. For them, working together is a matter of mutual motivation and appreciation, as they tend to be overly critical of their work. Jimmy and Dave started their music collaboration in high school as Skillet, an electro-industrial outfit, switching over to flat-out techno in early '92 in response to the cheesy techno-house (e.g. Snap, C&C Music Factory) climbing the charts at the time. The Antihouse name became a part of that reaction. Antihouse self-released three full-length tapes, before landing the track "Mercury Harbor", from the third tape, on Silent Records' From Here To Tranquility 3 compilation. However, [VISCD-1004] is the proof of their maturation. They spangle their beautifully rich synth textures with uniquely tweaky electro-noises, conveying the sense that the machines are speaking in their own language, backed with beats that can simultaneously soothe and motivate. Structurally, the album is a collection of their favorite individual tracks from the latest sessions, seamlessly patched together with transitional interludes that often develop into complete entities in themselves. With Dave's visual design concept, though, the album has taken on its own coherent identity. The CD sleeve represents each song with a corresponding food item, priced according to the amount of the album that the song comprises, thereby pointing to the fact that music, like almost everything else, has become a commodity to be bought and sold. Above that, though, the common grocery store imagery is Antihouse's statement that ambient music is for everyone. Dave notes, "if ambient music is to mean anything in the real world, it should be applied to the real world we all share, and not to something as intangible as meditating angels or new-age dolphin mantras.... It is just a different take on what music should do." Antihouse reacts very strongly against the lofty claims that many make with ambient music, rather intending to be real, true, and simple. The music is pure, all instrumental, with no samples, no "message". They are content to let the music speak for itself. The Antihouse project is now defunct, as Jimmy and Dave have gone on to other projects in other genres, we know not where!

By mixing colors, fragrances, textures and sounds, he has prolonged and expanded the playful activity of nature.This capacity to create will be multiplied by developing new technology. Order has emerged from initial chaos; life has grown to perfection. Yet the race for progress has reverse sides. Slaughter after slaughter, destruction after destruction, man increases his efficiency ... Man, nature's offspring, was able to master technology, but is powerless in controlling his own psyche. His rationality is no shield against his unconscious potentials. These uncontrolled powers can lead to an eruption of barbaric behavior. We are now facing the third millenium, preparing out future. Will the following generations be forced to suffer from our unconscious frenzy to consume ? In order to change the future one must first create another present; the extraordinary potentials of our mind should be utilized to reconcile our civilization with nature. all tracks experimented by laurent jadot for amor & psyche productions executed & recorded at amor & psyche studio july-october nineteenninethyfour premastered by pierre castin at digipro brussel artwork by michels dankers der elst lesage all tracks published by BE's songs licensed from barramundi, belgium ©1994 antler-subway		biography by Laurent Jadot himself: né à bruxelles, 27 ans J'ai commencé à faire de la musique il y a 8 ans environ, pendant mes études d'ingénieur du son. C'est après avoir envoyé une cassette à quelques labels que j'ai commencé à travailler comme remixeur-arrangeur pour R&S et S.S.R. Parceque j'ai toujours eu envie de créer ma propre musique, j'ai monté une societe et un studio d'enregistrement : "Amor et Psyche productions". Puis, j'ai sorti mes premiers E.P. et les choses ont évolué assez naturellement. A cette époque, j'ai aussi dévelloppé un projet ambient : "Alcove" sur Visible Rec & Barramundi et des projets plus spasmiques tels que "Radial Blur". Je n'ai pas du tout grandi dans un univers rock. Toute mon adolescence j'ai écouté sans craindre l'indigestion un mélange de funk, de new-wave et de musique électronique. J'ai commencé par accrocher sur des gens comme George Clinton (Funkadelic) ou James Brown puis, dans les années 80, j'ai découvert la new-wave synthétique avec des groupes comme Depeche Mode et Kraftwerk de même qu'un certain romantisme papier-glacé avec Cocteau Twins ou Soft Cell. Après, je me suis orienté vers l'ambient et la musique de films. Acid Kirk m'a fait découvrir l'univers froid et métallique de l'industriel pour lequel je me suis découvert un sérieux penchant. Aujourd'hui, j'écoute entre autres choses Reload (le groupe), Aphex, Beltram, Coil, Scanner, Skinny Puppy, Autechre, Locust, Scorn, Global Communication,... ...ainsi que les bandes sons de D. Lynch ou de certains films s.f. (ex: THX 1138 G. Lucas). Autres influences : David Cronenbergh, Kubrick, Jim Jarmush, Giger, Moebus, Douglas Coupland, William Gibson,... Mes projets actuels sont la sortie de "Phlegm", un nouveau Encephaloid Disturbance sur Communique et un album ambient solo pour fin 96. [lifted from xHouse]

A year later, he experimented with techno in his solo project Microdot before forming Not Breathing, which dynamically fuses the power of raw, experimental noise music with greasy enchiladas. The band's inspirations include authors like William Burroughs, Clive Barker, Robert Anton Wilson, Carlos Castanada, and Peter Carroll; artists such as David Em, David Lynch, and Dali; bad movies, which Dave also gets ideas for, but can only make with sound as he can't afford video equipment; and strange experiences ... which we are told are too strange to discuss here. Their sound sources are similarly eclectic, including a variety of analog synths, acoustic and exotic instruments, and session tapes of weekly "free form improv acid noise" get-togethers. Now renowned for their work on Invisible Records, Not Breathing has just released their fourth CD, entitled Itchy Tingles. Visit the official Not Breathing homepage for a complete discography and lots of downloadable soundfiles. Dave has also begun producing custom and modified analog gear, which you can check out at Carrion Sound.

The Alpha and the Omega. Science now recognizes the fact that all known substances vibrate at a specific frequency. The frequencies of vibration audible to the human ear have been termed sound. Therefore sound is also intrinsic to all things, here and there, above and below, before and after. The Earth, as it leaves behind the Piscean Age and moves into the Age of Aquarius, is undergoing an alchemical frequency upgrade. We are moving up an octave. That which has been experienced as reality is being vibrationally transformed into that which will exist as reality. As all things are formed from vibration, so too are all things transformed by vibration. Sound will assist this vibrational transformation process and serve as a vehicle from the current experience of reality to the future reality. Meridian Dream, through the utilization of sound, aim to be such a vehicle. Evolve together. Enjoy the ride. produced by meridi*an dream engineered & programmed by Rae DiLeo vocal treatments: Steven Rawlings all songs written by Steven Rawlings and Rae DiLeo recorded during May 1995 at Soho Studios, Santa Monica, CA album design by Martin Bond all songs published by visible interactive music (ascap) and fifth dimensional music (ascap) worldwide administration by visible interactive music ©1995 visible productions		Fifth Dimensional Music is a musical partnership between Rae DiLeo and Steven Rawlings. Rae DiLeo, besides being the guitarist/songwriter for NYC band Golden Dawn in the early 80's, also worked for many years as an independant producer/engineer for artists such as Grandmaster Flash, Kurtis Blow, and The Gap band, and produced many other early rap singles for Profile Records. Rae moved to LA in 1988 to establish his own recording production company. Recently, he recorded and edited the Grammy-winning spoken word book "Henry Rollins Get In The Van" for Time Warner Audio. Steven Rawlings, originally from the U.K., was formerly the vocalist with the path-cutting alternative rock band "The Danse Society", leaders in the early 80's underground/alternative music scene and forerunners to the alternative bands of the 90's. Danse Society released numerous singles and one album Seduction on their own record label Society Records before signing with Arista Records and releasing the critically acclaimed Heaven Is Waiting album. After the break-up of Danse Society, Steve worked in London with manager Jazz Summers and producer Youth for the Big Life record label, before eventually relocating to LA. The Fifth Dimensional Music partnership was established in March of '91 around the group "I Am Love", founded by Steve and Rae. They are currently in negotiations with several major record labels, who have recently expressed interest in signing the band. In May of '92, Fifth Dimensional Music was recruited by director Alan Van Ryan to score several ad campaigns for Ford Of England and Ford Of Europe, which ran in all European countries throughout 1993. Meridian Dream, described as "Transcendental Ambient Trance Music", is another project from the Fifth Dimensional Music fold. After their first live performance, in a desert canyon several hours from LA, and other shows around the LA underground rave and ambient music scene, Meridian Dream was asked to participate in the world's first trans- global interactive ambient music performance with Future Sound of London via ISDN digital communications line. The linkup between London, New York, and LA involved a live performance by Future Sound of London, from their studio in London, followed by a live performance by Meridian Dream from the Electronic Cafe in Santa Monica, along with DJ's and musicians at the Kitchen in NY adding sound effects and textures. All performances were accompanied by an elaborate montage of video and computer imagery, transmitted, mixed, and projected simultaneously between LA and New York. How About Now, Meridian Dream's first release, is a transformational journey of rich, hypnotic analogs and softly pulsing rhythms, all with a light, refined touch. Meridian Dream also has a short film Omega, an eighteen minute transformational journey which is a synthesis of sound and visual textures which showed as part of the art show "Synesthesia" at Mary Anthony Galleries in New York's SOHO district. The show, curated by Ronnie Catrone, featured 19 artists including The Virtual Reality Pioneer - Jaron Lanier, Future Sound of London, and H.R. Giger.
