The first half of Quintet Suite No. 4, which includes Quintet No. 7 and 8. Expanding rail and native habitats makes ethical room for all the displaced refugees, and they can even help to build them. 3D-printed soilcrete and hemp construction. Upgrade rail, the gigapress, ethical habitation, and population dispersion via drone delivery. Rediscover the ways of the Native Americans and live in balance with nature and each other. Ethereal interface with nature's sublimity.
I experimented with A-B-A (or Sonata) form here yet have since concluded that through-composed is a better form. Sonata form is a relic of the puritanical past, and I am attempting to discard pedantic use of sets, but rather a more open approach.
This piece is highly influenced by my great respect for the native Americans, and their journey across the Bering Strait, belying an advanced understanding of ocean currents and geography acquired by Western nations only later. They cultivated new plants for sustenance and medicine demonstrating amazing survival prowess. Native Mythologists enriched the chronicles of awe at nature's sublimity and introduced the ethics of environmental coexistence.  As such, I attempted to pay tribute to their unheralded accomplishments by rhythmically referencing Native American folk tunes.

16 Faces, the co-owner of Delphic Iris Records, is an enigmatic and experimental Berlin-based musician and producer with a keen interest in vinyl culture and a DIY approach to his craft. His productions and performances, as the name suggests, encompass a range of multifaceted styles, often skewing towards the strange, moody, and percussive, with a strong emphasis on unique sound
worlds. Originating from the arid suburbs of Australia and previously based in London, he has an extensive background that has taken him across several continents, enriching his deeply nuanced work with diverse inspirations. His influences include spaced-out ambient electronics, rich IDM rhythms, and a profound appreciation for a diverse array of dystopian UK styled bass music.

For the past year, 16 Faces has been part of Martyn's 3024 mentoring program, where he is honing his arranging skills and delving further into discussions on community building, justice, and integrity within today's electronic music scene and recently had a single out as part of 3024's Undercurrent Vol1 compilation.

During the pandemic, he collaborated with the independent Japanese fashion brand Beaugan. His previously unreleased track "Into the Abyss" was reworked into an eerie ambient synth score for their surreal and mysterious short film "Circadian," released in 2020 and featured on XLR8R.

He has also collaborated with the UK conceptual-noise tape label Algebra of
Need, touring Japan with them. His productions have received positive praise and DJ support from notable artists such as Clouds, Cici, Hybrid Theory, Bloodtrust, Adam Beyer, and Jacques Greene, establishing his credible clout in the industry.

With a rich background as a bassist and musical director, Ralph has made significant contributions to the Belgian music scene, collaborating with renowned artists and doing the musical direction of various television productions. His talent extends beyond live performance, as he has also lent his compositional skills to various series, commercials, amusement parks, and musicals.

This foundation paved the way for Ralph to explore and embrace the world of electronic music.
With a genuine passion for electronic sounds, Ralph has embarked on a journey to create his own distinctive style. His work involves not only composing and producing but also mixing and refining each track to ensure it carries his unique sonic signature. 
As Ralph continues to evolve from his roots as a skilled bassist to an emerging talent in electronic music production, he is eager to innovate and inspire.

A native-born Texan, John Michael Pekowski, PhD (b. 1975) began composing music at age 11. Simple improvisations on the family upright piano were followed by electronic compositions in BASIC code on the TI-99 computer.

In Junior High (1988) he was elected President of the Science Club, served as Social Chairman of the band, was awarded the John Philip Sousa Award, and was a featured soloist on trumpet. In High School (1994) John was section leader, co-principal trumpet of LYSO, Jazz One soloist (TTU Band Camp), and TMEA All-State Concert Band participant.

He was a member of the Texas Tech University Jazz One, Symphonic Band (1994-2002), recorded with the fee-improvisation ensemble YATE, his dissertation greatly advanced our understanding of the hierarchical organization of pitch-interval cycles within a voice-leading context, and was in contention for the Graduate Achievement Award.

The world premiere of his composition Jest of Moonlit Point for Pierrot Quintet, took place in 2024 and was performed by the Texas New Music Ensemble conducted by Bill Tacket. In 2021 Forest of the Birdsong for soprano sax (David Dees) and piano (Nataliya Sukhina) was premiered at Crickets Theater / Buddy Holly Hall.

Dr. Pekowski continues to compose classical instrumental. Recent works include String Quartet Suites No. 1-9 (2019-2022), Jest of Moonlit Point for Pierrot Quintet (2024), Brookhollow Bayou for Solo Flute (2024), and Suite for Orchestra No1-No2 (2023-2025).
