ATOM is Matt Inconiglios. He’s been experimenting with sound ever since he re-wired his AM radio to play through an old guitar amplifier as a child. Excited by the possibilities of sound manipulation through electronics, ATOM now mixes music, sounds, dialogue, and whatever else he can find to create a surreal sonic painting, steeped in electronic beats.

Inspired by the works of The Orb, Akufen, Meat Beat Manifesto, Josh Wink, and Luke Vibert, ATOM creates mixes and original tracks using elements of the entire sound spectrum, ranging from classical music, to electronic beats, to found sounds of everyday life. Growing up DJing at all types of parties, events, and clubs, ATOM sharpened his skills of dance music mixing, constantly interjecting elements of surprise. Turntables, samplers, computers - ATOM now harnesses whatever gear he needs to take listeners on an impressive, and oddly hallucinogenic journey. Having rocked parties for over 25 years, ATOM’s live DJ sets are always an audio delight.

Whether its a chorus of crickets from a backyard, two notes of a blues harmonica player, or a funked-out 1980s electro beatbox loop, ATOM will take sound samples from any source and morph them together to get his point across. He’s also been known to perform under the aliases of ‘Precious Roy’, ‘Arthur Pfund’, and ‘Matt Inc’.

The Light Years is a solo project from Dan Schiller and various friends from Chicago. It's non-pop Pop music and sometimes there's the occasional mashup or hip hop beat thrown in for good measure.
