Bio:
Growing up in British Columbia, Canada, Simon developed a strong affinity to nature with creative foundations in visual art and music. In 2004 he gravitated towards painting as a full-time endeavor bringing his musical background into the visual realm.  Simon has explored many visual mediums, often with an emphasis on spiritual themes connected to nature. In 2007 he graduated from Vancouver Film School, where he learned motion-graphics, among many other skills within the Digital Design program.  That led him to animate many of his paintings now used in live VJ performances with various global music acts, including his own. He continues to produce music by himself and collaboratively.  He has released four solo albums since 2002 and one with the band Heofon.  Within art galleries, festivals, conventions, and online platforms, his work is exhibited globally. He currently works out of his studio in Roberts Creek, BC, while continuing to explore an ever-expanding palette of creative endeavors.


Artist Statement:
“I'm curious about our psychic connection to nature and the metaphysical unity of all life.  In my devotion to the creative process, I strive to produce art that inspires harmony between the Earth and its shared inhabitants.  I feel that our collective need and appreciation for nature unites us all. Each creation reflects an aspect of my life journey, thinning the veil between physical and metaphysical realities.”

HEOFON - (Old English for Heaven) is a Mystic-Prog Band from BC Canada.

With lush ambient bridges, between multidimensional melodies and surges of distortion, Heofon’s instrumental music will take you on an epic journey through sonic landscapes of vivid psychedelia.  Heofon explores an expansive spectrum of sounds branching out from progressive rock. A style they've dubbed Mystic-Prog.  Their influences include Tool, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, and many others. 

With a foundation of guitars, bass and drums, their music also incorporates didgeridoo, cello, layered synths, throat singing and more. Their songs are evocative soundscapes, progressing through a plethora of emotions while drawing inspiration and story from nature, dreams and entheogenic experiences.

Heofon's band members, all multi-instrumentalists, Simon Haiduk, Chris Niebergall, and Tim Niebergall have been playing together since 2008. While mostly experimental, it was in late 2016 when they began to record the sessions which then fuelled three years of songwriting, and producing; leading up to their debut album '5th Key'.

Femina-X is an alternative, Latin band from San Antonio comprised of members Daniela Riojas (vox), Alex Scheel (guitar), Jeff Palacios (bass), Darian Thomas (violin), and Jai Roots (drums). Femina-X identifies as "New Alternative" and creates unconventional fusions with electronic beats, samples, synths, and live instruments. They draw musical influence from progressive tribal and ethnic dance, hip-hop, jungle, caribbean, industrial, punk, and drum and bass. 

Daniela's chameleon voice has the range to both coo and siren, lull and frighten, always reaching from a place of passion, imagination, and child-like playfulness. Her vision, melody, and lyrics construct the world within each song, pulling from her ability to narrate and share the deeply personal with an edge of fantasy.

Femina-X has performed at the historic Arneson River Theater, The Tobin Center for Performing Arts, and Luminaria Contemporary Arts Festival. They received The San Antonio Current’s Critics Choice for the Music Awards 2014, Top 3 Best Electronic Bands in 2015,  a grant from The Artist Foundation for the production of their music video “Frida’s Heart,” have been featured in Vice Colombia and Remezcla, and are currently represented by TIMEWHEEL record label.
