ARTIST BIOGRAPHIES
GREG 'COSMO D' HEFFERNAN is a producer and cellist who's background in classical music, jazz, studio production, and electronic music have given him a distinct musical identity. On stage, his cello improvisations combined with bass-influenced electronic dance music and DJing provide a one-of-a-kind listening experience. In the studio, both solo and as 1/3rd of the production crew Archie Pelago, he melds electronic and acoustic instruments with original beats and textures, always providing an emotionally impactful vibe to his ever-evolving sonic palette. cosmod.net
DAVID LAST is a musician and visual artist living in Brooklyn New York. He is a founder of the Konque label and music project. His tracks range from electronic dance music to cinematic orchestral ambience depending on the setting. This is not surprising, as he has been creating music for a variety of venues; the dancefloor, Imax film, video installation, childrens' animation, and albums. As a result of a broad curiosity about music, each project is considered anew as its own sonic world. davidlast.net
