Stellar Om Source
Stellar Om Source is the solo project of Dutch electronic musician Christelle Gualdi. She began to play electronic music as a teenager while recording soundtracks for exhibitions, assisting her father at the radio studio using Yamaha MSX and Atari 1040 systems. Next to this, her music taste has been influenced by early fascination for fusion, guitar heroes and ECM artists, as well as disco and new-age music and her studies in music theory, electro-acoustic composition and architecture.
Across a range of different analog synths, Stellar OM Source uses music as "transport to the ocean realm within the stars". Christelle's beautifully liquid sonic textures form an ecstatic bridge between the music of machines and the rituals and sensations of the spirtual and devotional, and her work has been compared to Terry Riley, Alice Coltrane and Ryuichi Sakamoto.
After several years of collaborative releases, her solo debut LP came out in March 2009, recorded and released by the American Black Dirt Records label in New York State. She self-released a CD trilogy in May 2009, spanning four years of recordings.
In the past she has collaborated live with people such as Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo, Tony Conrad, The Skaters, Ducktails & Oneohtrix Point Never.

Cian Nugent
Cian Nugent is a young guitar player and composer from Dublin who combines squicky pre-war blues, Appalachian string band music, modern classical and the Takoma school into a deeply personal style. His music boasts an orchestrated and fully instrumented sound that is playful and eerie at the same time.
In the past he has toured with people such as Jack Rose, Glenn Jones, Ben Reynolds, Nalle, The Family Elan, George Stavis, Jozef van Wissem, C Joynes, Peter Delaney, Thinguma*jigSaw and James Blackshaw throughout Europe and the United States. Cian can also be found playing bass in Sea Dog.

Boys of Summer
Boys of Summer is a Dublin based synthesizer trio made up of Paul G. Smyth (The Jimmy Cake), Ivan Pawle (Sea Dog) and Andrew Fogarty (Reptile Brain, Toymonger, Weil Rats) on the Munitions Family label.
The group primarily uses analogue synthesizers and tape delays to create a modern electronic sound, which draws from early German Electronic Experimentalists and minimalists like Terry Riley and Brian Eno
Boys of Summer have performed alongside artists such as Cluster, Xeno & Oaklander, Led er Est, Grouper, John Weise, Pocahaunted, Sun Araw, Lucky Dragons and Gnod. To date the group has released three albums on the Dublin-based Munitions Family label; 'V' (2008), 'Pharaoh' (2009) and 'Future Ancients' (2010).
