Gaia Raga is a six-piece band of multi-instrumentalists.  Their music has a folkish flair, with elements of improvisational jazz, and some Indian classical sounds through the sitar and harmonium.

Niki Arrowsmith is the band leader, playing ukulele and harmonium.  She and Karsyn Wagner are the vocalists of the band, forming Gaia Raga's signature ethereal sound of two female vocalists always entwined in unison or harmony, sounding as one. 
Andy Dreamos, who co-founded the band with Niki, plays sitar, alto saxophone and drums.
Chris J. Smith provides the heartbeat on percussion and drums, sometimes bringing banjo into the mix.
Matthew Edward Trice plays bass guitar and alto saxophone.
RJ Testa adds a mystical twang with his mandolin, as well as rounding out the horn and winds section with his tenor saxophone and flute.

Our Bodes Themselves is the psychedelic dance-rock project headed up by composer and multi-instrumentalist Anawim Avila.

Exploring never static sonic landscapes, OBT's pan-artistic personnel hail from the North of Jersey to the South of Philly and all points in between.

Every Skaht Kpraille set is completely different, an improvisational expedition into the unknown.  Each jam is unique and unplanned, guiding both listeners and the musicians themselves on an ethereal journey through the vibrations of the mythical realm of the Gout 966.Spanning various genres, styles, and time signatures, Skaht is bound to hypnotize, enchant, and thrill.

Featuring Lieutenant Schwey Todd on percussion, Thoriginous Jeffrey on bass, and Hugo Bluvez on guitar.
