Rum is a Danish word for space, room or reverb.

Since 2003 Jens B. Christiansen has been producing challenging yet melodic electronic music under the moniker Rumpistol, so far resulting in 5 albums, 3 EPs plus lots of remixes of acts like Efterklang, System, Indians & Blue Foundation.

Rumpistol has performed his detailed signature sound and genre crossing music at festivals and venues all across Europe, North America, Mexico, China and Russia.

He has created game and tv scores, live soundtracks and appeared in various improvised setups and constellations with artists and orchestras such as Red Baron (DK/US), F.S.Blumm (DE), Copenhagen Philharmonics (DK), John LaMonica (US), Kohei Matsunaga aka NHK Koyxen (JP) & Kalaha (DK).

In 2010 he was nominated for the Qwartz Electronic Music Award in the Discovery category for his album “Dynamo” and in 2012 he released the album “Floating” – a widely acclaimed collaboration with the Danish vocalist Red Baron that further explored the post dub-step vocal territories opened up on 2011’s “Talk To You” EP.

Kodomo is the electronic music project of Chris Child, based in Brooklyn, New York. He took the moniker Kodomo from his last name meaning "Child" in Japanese. 
To date, Kodomo has released three albums, one EP, and five singles. 
His debut album, Still Life was presented in 2008 on NYC's label 5 Point Records. His second album, Frozen In Motion, was released in 2011. His third album, Patterns & Light, will be released in Spring of 2014.
In between releases, Kodomo has collaborated with and done remixes for Omar Faruk Tekbilek, Freezepop, TPWLYST, and Symbion Project, among other artists. Chris is also an Emmy nominated composer and has written music for commercials and TV series. His music is regularly featured on NPR’s Morning Edition, This American Life and All Things Considered. He also created music for the popular hit video games Rock Band, Phase, Amplitude and Frequency, produced by Harmonix.
Chris's music parallels his interests in technology, science, visual arts, photography, and Buddhism. He approaches each album and project with the intention of moving in a new direction, inspired by new processes and ideas that inform the music he creates.
