Paul Belbusti's need to create art and experiment knows no bounds. Easily the most prolific artist in the CT area, Paul's main musical act Mercy Choir starts out the new year strong with the first of what I am sure will be many releases this year.

dave GO and the Guy from Beastmaster - Bed-Sitter Girl

Producing music at a steady pace, this outfit culls from a massive archive of tape samples and produced music and act as an audio collage artist. Splicing and rearranging pieces into new/weird/wonderful work is something that comes easy to Dave Go and the Guy, and the results are amazing.
