John Rose is a composer working out of Lexington, Kentucky. John has worked for many years doing live radio, outdoor festivals, art openings and planetarium performances. John has been a pioneer of electronic music in Kentucky since the 1970s. He continues to work on solo recordings, and is a sound tech and stage hand. He recently started recording and producing music for other people. John also loves to teach wilderness survival and awareness and has been doing so at camps and workshops around Kentucky and Tennessee.

John Rose’s music is created primarily from his own experiences, what he calls “life’s soundtracks”. He utilizes elements from his diverse musical background, which includes early music (especially the Medieval and pre-Renaissance era), Baroque (owing to his direct musical lineage to J.S. Bach through oral teaching tradition), Middle Eastern Music, Gregorian chant, traditional Celtic and Appalachian music, and experimental electronic music.

Music and musicians who are of interest to John Rose are J.S. Bach, Arvo Part, Tangerine Dream, Dead Can Dance, Gregorian chant, Cantigas de Santa Maria, Alan Stivell, Morton Subotonic, John Jacob Niles, Debussy, and Chopin. He considers Nature and Silence to be the foundation of all music.

John’s music is timeless and pensive, interwoven with images of nature, expressive rhythms, deep space pulses, and industrial ambience. Other compositions contain intricate piano passages dancing across waves of geometric ostinatos.

“Music is structured in silence and has its foundations in the rhythm of nature, out of which springs the language of humanity and reflections of the energy of life. I wish to express this to the listener through my music.”

Tony Gerber is a multifaceted musician and artist whose creative journey has spanned several decades, leaving an indelible mark on the realms of electronic music, visual art, and beyond.

Born with an innate passion for sound and expression, Tony Gerber's musical odyssey began in the Amish cornfields of northern Indiana and then to the vibrant music scene of Nashville, Tennessee, where he nurtured his art and life. Immersed in the rich cultural tapestry of the city, Gerber found inspiration in its diverse soundscape, from classical to rock, folk and country, to the soulful melodies of blues and jazz.

In the early 1970s, Gerber became captivated by the burgeoning electronic music movement, drawn to the boundless possibilities offered by synthesizers, sequencers, and other cutting-edge technologies. Embracing this newfound fascination, he embarked on a journey of sonic exploration, pushing the boundaries of traditional music genres and forging his own distinctive sound.

Throughout his career, Gerber has collaborated with a diverse array of artists and musicians, blurring the lines between musical genres and cultural boundaries. His work spans a wide spectrum of styles, from ambient and experimental to tribal and world music, reflecting his eclectic influences and adventurous spirit.

As a founding member of the pioneering electronic music ensemble SPACECRAFT, Gerber helped pioneer the genre known as spacemusic, blending hypnotic rhythms, ethereal textures, and immersive soundscapes to create evocative sonic landscapes that transport listeners to otherworldly realms.

In addition to his musical pursuits, Gerber is also an accomplished visual artist, exploring the intersection of sound, light, and space through his mesmerizing multimedia installations and performances. His work often incorporates elements of improvisation and chance, inviting audiences to embark on a journey of discovery and transformation.

Beyond his artistic endeavors, Gerber is also a passionate advocate for the power of music and creativity to inspire positive change in the world. Whether through his performances, workshops, or community outreach initiatives, he seeks to foster connections, stimulate imagination, and cultivate a deeper appreciation for the beauty and wonder of the universe.

Today, Tony Gerber continues to push the boundaries of artistic expression, harnessing the transformative power of sound and vision to create immersive experiences that resonate on both a personal and universal level. With each new project, he invites audiences to embark on a voyage of exploration and discovery, inviting them to glimpse the infinite possibilities of human creativity.
