Drummer Chris Corsano has been working at the intersection of free jazz, avant-rock and experimental music since the late 1990s. Corsano is widely considered one of the most versatile and innovative drummers in contemporary improvised music. Corsano's playing partners can be found in the worlds of rock and jazz (Joe McPhee, Rodrigo Amado), but also in experimental music. Corsano played on Björk's Volta album and on the album's world tour. The Guardian describes him as "one of the world's great drummers".

St. Louis-born bassist Darin Gray, who has now settled in Finland, is known as a solo artist, tireless collaborator, improviser and, among others, Jim O'Rourke's regular bassist for over 25 years. Gray and Chris Corsano have performed together under the name Chikamorachi.

Saxophonist Sami Pekkola is one of the most active figures in Finnish experimental music and free jazz. The energetic phonologist, who works in several different ensembles and projects, has performed with, among others, electronic music pioneer Pekka Airaksinen and free jazz legend Peter Brötzmann.
