About The Music
ACL

After "many years of searching far and wide for signs of life... the fleet descends

the cloudline." On the voyage: Warren Nelson and Skeeze Harmon share guitars

and voices, Doug Port and Mark Sickafoose interact on drums, Carlos Tulloss

centers on bass and David Delmar writes the parables. Featured vocalists include

Bernadette Ayers and AnonIMust. Words don't describe the music... the music

describes the experience.



ATMA

Sailing on the nightvision rhythms of Mike O'Doherty (drums) and Carlos Tulloss

(bass), Seattle group Atma has quickly evolved into an adventurous performance

collective. Sci-fi, souljazz, soundscapes and dub grooves keep their shows

surprising... as does the expansive crew of artists, featuring Joe Doria and

Leif Dalan on B3 and Rhodes, saxophone player Brett Joseph, guitar wizard

Ari Zucker and flute player Allison Noel.




DUBSLINGER

Jazz fusion trio casting light through smog in LA. Featuring wildman Doug Port

on drums, layered with Warren Nelson on guitar and Carlos Tulloss on bass.

Dubslinger: The Movie opens (your mind).



GREENHORSE

As dawn breaks over the murky waste, twin bassists stride through the mist.

Greenhorse awakes. Wispy curls of fog creep between them and dance among

the reeds, slick with dew. Very slowly, their crystalline voices reach into the

blooming firmament. Flashing tones burst forth from their mossy guitars. And

then the beat. Velvet drumloops chase the last of the fading night as downy strips

of living sound fall to the moist earth. Greenhorse walks into the pulsing daylight

trailing ribbons of melody behind them.



SPACE FOLK

A storytelling circle of unknown origin grew into a reunion of an ancestry of

music and friendship. Contributers include John Bennett, Skeeze Harmon,

David Delmar, Allegra Chabay, Sarah Snavely, travist.paine, Carlos Tulloss,

Lorin Santaloci, Mark Sickafoose, Warren Nelson, Constance Leab, Mike

Spencer, Adam Huntress and Vesper Gers.



MICHAEL SPALY

Michael Spaly began his musical study as a child and contributes his unique

skills on guitar, mandolin and violin to a variety of Northwest musical acts

including Creeping Time, Sam Russell & the Harborrats, and Undersea Passage.

This page features his creative "solo" recordings which again feature a number

of friends and collaborators. Michael brings a special generosity to his playing.



travist.paine

Travis has a voice that makes painters dance and poets climb trees. His

music is not a born talent... it is the sound of a mystic journey... blessings

and sorrows... lessons and soft still moments of forever.




UNDERSEA PASSAGE

Undersea Passage perform storylike roots music, channeling old ballads and

ocean currents to offer ethereal movements laced with haunting verse. Singers

David Delmar (rhythm guitar, lyrics) and the classically trained, deep blue

Allison Noel (flute, keys) perform many songs as duets, highlighted by the

rhythm play of Doug Port (drums) and orchestrator Carlos Tulloss (bass). An

array of guest stars add a vibrant dimension: Allegra Chabay (voice), Brett

Joseph (sax), Warren Nelson (lead guitar, voice), Michael Spaly (lead guitar,

mandolin, violin), Narissa Johnson (voice), Nate Spicer (keys), John Bennett

(bass, percussion), Paul Fischer (lead guitar) and Mike Ferraro (drums).
