boris d hegenbart-matsui (electronic devices) "...in his eletro-acoustic compositions, hegenbart combines the aesthetics of 1950's musique concrete with our day's digital technologies of music production and sound synthesis, without restricted by the contemporary software's limitations. for him, this software, as well as music-samples and the sounds of his every day life, become material to be molded according to his artistic intentions. this way hegenbart creates the delicate and complex sound-scapes, he is well known for."

Warm Climate: 22.00
"The first Warm Climate album was released in 2006 but the band only started to fry minds in these regions in the last two years with a couple of micro releases on cd-r and cassette. Seth Kasselman is the man behind the project. He always picks out different musicians to accompany his glamfolk inspired jams, in which pop music and weird improv are blended like a strong bloody mary. For his live debut in Europe Kesselman is doing it all by himself. With a unique castrato voice, a free approach of the clarinet and a love for everything droning he eventually breaks all frameworks of contemporary pop music." - Incubate

Interview: Talking Warm Climate with Seth Kasselman - by David Perron
"Warm Climate IS Los Angeles, or at least one especially crucial aspect of its tremendous Voice. In all its befuddling and inscrutable glory, the city itself seeks purest expression through the genius minds who roam its Escher-like sprawl. Warm Climate has deftly responded to the schizoid urges of L.A. in good measure: with an incredible music that will be remembered long after the cars, buildings, and sea of people.” — Stunned Records
