	Lenore Von Stein (singer/composer) has been making collages using a mixture of musical disciplines and media for several years. Recent concert performances include the collage "There Is No Such Thing As Race" with Daniel Carter, Rob Brown, among many others, "What My Style is Made Of" and "Tolerating Ambition" with Tony Trischka. Von Stein originated the role in Samuel Beckett's one-person piece, "The Expelled." Amanda MacBlane in the New Music Box called Von Stein's recently released 1687 recording "I Haven't Been Able To Lie And Tell The Truth" "Stark musical reality infused with energy." Lenore Von Stein's other recordings on the 1687 label are "Blind Love = PoRno?" and "Love Is Dead." "Tradition is in the eye of the beholder...surreal and uninhibited…somewhere between Cathy Berberian's microtones and Ella Fitzgerald's silky scats... strikingly offbeat lyrics, subtler, ever innovative." Kyle Gann & Gene Santoro, Village Voice & Pulse.

	Rob Brown (sax) has performed with Cecil Taylor, Rashied Ali, Fred Hopkins, Mathew Shipp, William Parker, Tim Berne, Mark Dresser, Dennis Charles, Billy Bang, Borah Bergman and many others. "Brown's alto [on "Blue in Green"], mostly robust and earthy, cries with a quietly stoic sorrow..." Graham Lock, The Wire
	Beth Griffith (soprano) has appeared with Sequentia, Musikfabrik, Ensemble13, L'Art pour L'Art, Cologne Radio Symphony Orchestra, and the Paris Nouvel Orchestra Philharmonique and has worked with composers John Cage, Morton Feldman, Mauricio Kagel and Karlheinz Stockhausen.
