Johanna Hauser- Bass Clarinet
Lynn Marie Chicoine - Synthesizer, Keys
Nicholas Marriot - Guitars
Jesus Adrian Caballero - Percussion (March 21 only)
Adrian Avendaño- Percussion

Natasha Zrno, an improvising clarinetist with a rich warm sound and presence, is one of Vancouver's hidden gems. A collectivist by nature and individualist by practice. Her supportive community spirit is shown by her involvement in the Star System Curation Society, Sawdust Collector, NOW Society and her co-collaborated group Breathing Machine as well as her position as bookie at China Cloud Studios. Her music and vision are worth experiencing.

Works of Progress. Theme music with suggestive titles;
Original works of hypnosis and combustion influenced by the theme of the breath and perseverance in performance.

Special Thanks to Diane, Brad, Lisa, Lynn, Colin and Jenn, Breathing Machine, Growling Peach, Rosina, Jazmín and John.
